home premium
While I'd like Ultimate, it would mostly be a vanity thing. And were I buying Professional at retail, the small additional charge for Ultimate would be a no-brainer. However, with Professional at half price against Ultimate at full price, that, too, is a no brainer.
Currently, I remote into several family members' PCs using Remote Desktop (they all have XP Pro). It appears that Home Premium does not have that ability. Ergo, I'll be buying 3 copies of Professional instead of 2 Home Premiums and 1 Professional. At least it's only $300 instead of $600 . . . . I wonder if there will be different levels of support for home vs pro versions. Not that support has ever been M$ strong suite. If I had to buy it Pro or ultimate would be my choice. Ken |

If I didn't have a technet sub and the offer was available in Australia, I'd go for Home Premium.

I did pro. I'm not sure how many of my XP programs would run on Premium. For example Norton Save and Restore 2.0, Norton 9 Anti-Virus are most important to me. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I'm doing a clean install on a new build and want to create system images to network drives. I have to buy Pro for image on network drives. I can find $15 more in change under my couch cushions. I don't see why someone would buy Pro unless it's an upgrade.
It's my understanding I could not use an upgrade version on a new machine because you need a previous install disk to make it work. Someone told me I could but I don't see how. |

Win7 Enterprise, Win7 x86 (Ult 7600), Win7 x64 Ult 7600, TechNet RTM on AMD x64 (2.8Ghz)

After testing Ultimate for over 8 months, I could not go with anything less.

I choose Home Premium. Pro didn't convince me at all.

You need a separate license for each machine. The forthcoming Family license allows 3 machines - it's more expensive, obviously - unless they do a special launch deal on that - you might be better getting 3 upgrades on the pre order deal. |

W7 Home Premium upgrade to Professional possible? Hi, I mistakenly ordered a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and as a result - am unable to add it to the work network domain - I just screwed up. Is it possible to "upgrade the O/S" (pay to have it unlocked) and change it to "professional" or whatever is needed? Thanks in advance. John |
