So Many Versions of Windows Vista? How Do I Decide?

ExtremeTech has published a handy chart for helping you determine which of the seven versions of Windows Vista is right for you. Two of the seven versions are not on the chart because those versions are for European or developing nations.

To make it simple you will typically be started off with Windows Vista Home Basic with a budget PC with the option to upgrade for a few dollars to Windows Vista Home Premium. The high-end multimedia and gaming PC's may come with the option to get Windows Vista Ultimate pre-installed. Most home users should do fine with Home Basic, but you might as well shell out the extra bucks to upgrade to Home Premium. The Business and Enterprise editions are specifically for corporate networks. If you run a SOHO business you should evaluate whether or not to upgrade to the Business edition, but most likely you will not need those functions for everyday business tasks.
