oldhippiechic Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm getting a new computer. My options are to get it with Win XP, Vista Business or Vista Home.I'd like to go with Vista if it's working well. I was thinking of getting Vista Business (I'm getting a ThinkPad R61) but wanted to know if Business or Home would have different stability issues.Also, the sales rep said I might think of getting it with XP.Any thoughts that can help me with this dilema?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 IMHO - Unless you need/want the Media Center and DVD authoring tools - Vista Business is the way to go. It has a slightly lower overhead as far as system resources go. The difference in Vista Versions is not as great as XP - where Professional won hands down. Home Premium is great/ideal on a Home PC System for Multimedia - Videos/Photos/DVD etc - however for the best experience on a Laptop - go for Business!

Jakebo Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 It really depends on what you are going to be using it for more than anything else. Check http://www.wasatchsoftware.com/products/windows-vista.htm for a feature comparison. See what features you want and then you can easily determine which Vista fits your needs best.

Access Denied Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Business has the backup utility that home does not. Go Business, I sure did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
