Some people like the selection of the different versions of Vista, because they can choose the version that will fit best for them.  However, I think it just adds to confusion, and should be scrapped for a one-software-fits-all solution like Apple does with their Mac OS X

The different versions of Vista is good in a way, but i think that Vista Ultimate should be the general Vista version. it feels like these different versions is a class classification. Basic for low spec computers, Home prem. for med and Ultimate for High-end computers. But there isn’t really much confusion…. the only confusion is between Ultimate and Home Prem. I regret getting Ultimate for the Extras, because there is no extras, i am disappointed in microsoft.

I had both the Vista 32Bit & 64 Bit Ultimate installed earlier but then i realized why not use only the 64 version instead of running two OSes.So, i’m currenty on Vista 64 Ultimate (dual boot with XP) .😊

I know, the Extras (or lack thereof) have been one of my biggest disappointments with the operating system.  Everything else runs smoothly for me.  Luckily I didn’t pay for Ultimate (got it through my school for free as part of their software program) but I was still looking forward to the extras.  They even changed the wording in SP1 to lower everyones expectations haha
