Hello,

I recommend the Compare Editions page for Windows Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...ns/choose.mspx.
There, you can see which features you will really need or like.

"windows vista home premium and had windows vista home premium"

Did you maybe mean to type "Home Premium and Home Basic"? If that was
your question, I'd say "Home Premium" although without knowing any of
your computer specs that's just a guess. Home Basic will not give you
the Aero interface. Home Premium will but you must have a video card
that supports it. Maybe this link will help:

I would advise you to wait until at least SP1. There are a lot of issues
with vista as it exists - just browse the group for a bit.

I recommend downloading the Vista Product Guide whose link is at the bottom of your link. It is much more detailed.

Home Basic will not give yo
the Aero interface. Home Premium will but you must have a video car
that supports it

How do you know what "Video card" you have and if it will support it??

Thanks
