If you need to join an Active Directory domain, then the Windows Vista Business edition is essential. One pointer for choosing this edition is that you are currently running XP pro rather than XP home. These latest bulk-install techniques extend to Vista. If yes, then consider the Home Premium edition. The business version does not have the Windows Media Center. OK, go ahead and order the Windows Vista Ultimate edition. Vista Ultimate also has the complete PC Backup imaging tool.
In this specialist case, the bit editions of Vista Business or Vista Ultimate may be for you. One day buying a bit edition of Vista may be the best option, but for non-developers that day will not be in early The consensus of opinion in the spring of was that manufacturers had not produced sufficient bit drivers and software applications to risk installing any of the bit editions of Vista.
In which case, your supplier has probably contacted you about upgrading to Windows Vista Enterprise under the Volume License agreement. Ordinary people cannot get hold of Vista Enterprise thus you can cross this edition off your short list; opt for Vista Business edition instead. In addition, you have to be a member of one of emerging markets to get a copy of this Starter Vista edition. Rant over hehe. Thanks for the links bondurant. I mentioned Suse because I had some troubles locating important directories at first.

These editions can run bit programs by running them within the WOW64 subsystem. Most bit programs can run natively, though applications that rely on device drivers will not run unless those device drivers have been written for bit Windows. Most older hardware doesn't have the necessary support to get the drivers written. Other applications may have difficulty as well. For example, the Visual Basic 6 IDE will run natively on bit editions, but will not run at all on bit editions.
Adobe Premier Elements is bit and the full Adobe Premier is available for bit Vista - with more capability but at a much higher price.
Various reviewers have reported that the bit editions of Windows Vista outperform their bit counterparts in synthetic benchmarks such as PassMark.
Those who work with extremely large files may realize noticeably greater gains in performance, in some cases as dramatic as ten times the previous speed. This is because bit applications can address larger amounts of memory and thus result in less file swapping — one of the biggest factors that can affect data processing speed. All bit versions of Microsoft operating systems currently impose a 16 TB limit on address space. Processes created on the bit editions of Windows Vista can have 8 TB in virtual memory for user processes and 8 TB for kernel processes to create a virtual memory of 16 TB.
The Commission concluded that Microsoft "broke European Union competition law by leveraging its near monopoly in the market for PC operating systems onto the markets for work group server operating systems and for media players".
After unsuccessful appeals in and , Microsoft reached an agreement with the Commission where it would release a court-compliant version, Windows XP Edition N , that does not include the company's Windows Media Player but instead encourages users to pick and download their own media player.
Like the European Commission decision, this decision was based on the grounds that Microsoft had abused its dominant position in the market to push other products onto consumers. Unlike that decision, however, Microsoft was also forced to withdraw the non-compliant versions of Windows from the South Korean market.
