| 865092 | 2010-03-08 20:17:00 | Hi Guys I am in the mood to buy Windows 7 (I am on XP now). In your opinion what is the best version for me to get. I am thinking about Home Premium OEM. I am not a gamer, small business use, small home network (3 machines) |

| 865094 | 2010-03-08 20:21:00 | Depends what you want (en.wikipedia.org). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 865095 | 2010-03-08 20:50:00 | Will you ever want to use the PC on a domain? If not, Home Premium will be fine. Thanks for that, but what do you mean "on a domain" I have a small website hosted by my ISP. I once had a static isp number. Is that what you mean ? |

| 865097 | 2010-03-08 21:51:00 | If you ever want to use the XP feature, Home Premium won't let you play their game, however VMLite is a thrifty way around that. Wainuitech explains all most effectively here (pressf1.co.nz). Scroll down to post #8. |

| 865098 | 2010-03-09 03:43:00 | Thanks guys, great info Yes and KarameaDave from what know you are right, Windows 7 is just an update of Vista with all the carp stripped out of it. There is a limit to what they can do on new O/S's now. |

| 865101 | 2010-03-09 18:37:00 | +1 for Home Premium, does what the vast majority of users require, although the network-backup of the Pro / Enterprise / Ultimate is a great feature. Home Premium only does to USB / DVD. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
