Windows 7 RC

I am using the windows 7 rc right now and planning on upgrading should I get
ultimate? or just home premium. What's the advantage?

No one can tell you which one to get. Look at what each one has. Decide your
main uses of the operating system. Then see which O/S best matches what you
want to use the computer for.

Your question is similar to your asking; should I buy a Ford or a Toyota. No
one can tell you.

As stated, you need to choose for yourself and according to your needs,
never-the-less, I did your work for you as far as the differences goes,
so here you go:

No need to get Ultimate if you want want to go higher than
Home Premium. Get Professional. Professional is Ultimate
without BitLocker and 35 built-in languages. That's why
Ultimate is only $20 US more than Professional. However,
until July 11 in Canada and USA, you can pre-order Home
Premium and Professional upgrade versions for half price.
Win 7 includes both 32 and 64 bit versions in all retail
packages.

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Off the top of my head: get Professional, but only because it sounds better
than 'Home Premium' and you will be taken more seriously. Windows 7 Ultimate
will be almost identical to Windows 7 Enterprise. Those two will have only a
few extra features over Professional, constellating around security and
features of worth only in corporate environments. Ultimate will probably
*not* be offering future downloads of extra goodies and games this time
'round, so in all likelihood you will want Professional and it will be the
cherry.

Each version 'up' is a superset of the one below i.e. it Professional
includes everything in Home Premium PLUS extra Professional features.

Here's a good comparison chart:

Afaik, Windows 7 RC is Ultimate only. You won't be able to upgrade to Home
Premium unless you do a fresh install.
