OK, now here's the real story, sorry I'm kind of a techie and have spent a lot of time working on and fixing machines. Vista Basic is for all intent a pretty version of XP, yeah that's right! Vista Home Premium is the really Vista operating system that includes Aero and the media center functions. Vista Business removes the things like the Media center functions and adds business features like Heavy Encryption, Communications and Networking features. Vista Ultimate is a combining of Vista Home Premium and Vista Business.

Yes, in order to run Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate you really need a base of 2 gigs of ram, MicroShaft has admitted this and that they lied in order for manufactures to sell Vista machines.

Fun stuff these computers and operating systems!!!
