Ok,
This will sound very very very very very weird to you butttt I am wanting to buy a legit copy of vista: Windows Vista Home Ultimate.
I want opinions on the people who have it and what do i lose compared to Windows Vista Ultimate.
I asked my mum to buy it (£150) and she likes the idea and before i let her buy it I want opinions from my fellow forum pixels
Do I get windows aero with this one?
and will my laptop work ok on it (512MB gc, 2.0ghz x2, 2GB of ram)

Second thing:
I have vista rc2 installed on my laptop, but then i reinstalled xp and it overwrites the boot.ini for vista. How can i fix it so it gives me options to boot up for vista (And let me do it)

Thanks
Nathan

if you want to edit the boot.ini to dual boot both versions, I assume you have both versions still installed.
you probably have something like

code:

---

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=optin

---

There is no Windows Vista home ultimate only windows vista ulitmate and windows vista home premium/ home basic. If you're getting ultimate you will get aero. For aero you need:

    * a 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
    * 1 gigabyte of system memory
    * a DirectX 9 compatible graphics processor, with a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver, and a minimum of 128 MB of Video RAM
    * 40 GB hard drive with 15 GB free space
    * DVD-ROM Drive
    * audio output and Internet access


And use Google.

It's called Home Premium not Home Ultimate

I can't really give you the exact answer, what I can tell you is that, if you think it's worth th money then buy it, otherwise, don't.
btw, it's windows vista ultimate, not windows vista home ultimate.

now that I think about it I would only buy it if I got a new computer because XP is fine for me but I should have waited for Vista as I got my computer 7 months ago

If it was me I would get the Ultimate one as I'm a heavy computer user

Are you talking about Vista Home or Vista Ultimate?
Or is it some other version?

Nathan has gotten confused with Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate. Basically he has messed up the words Ultimate and Premium. Can we stop these confused posts now?

About the boot problem, try booting with your vista DVD and enter the recovery console (i think it is Shift + F10 or something like that) and type "fixboot c:" and "fixmbr c:" (Smilie)

Mike means, you should boot your Vista DVD, press Shift + 10 to open a command line, and type "fixboot c:" and "fixmbr c:".

There should be this wizard, and this would hopefully help you out!
