Diferencias entre las versiones de Windows Vista
El nuevo sistema operativo ha sacado versiones para todos los gustos, en total son estas:
Windows Starter 2007. Versión más básica de todas, no incluye el motor gráfico AERO, además de que solo viene para 32 bits y no utiliza la marca Vista.
Windows Vista Home Basic (and Home Basic N). Es una versión europea, que no incluye Windows Media Player.
Windows Vista Home Premium. La más completa junto a la Ultimate, seguramente es la que mas usará la gente.
Windows Vista Business (and Business N) La version “profesional”. Dirigida a empresas, algo así como XP Pro. El Business N es la versión europea sin el Windows Media Player.
Windows Vista Enterprise. Incluye Virtual PC y “Secure startup/full volume encryption” vaya a saber uno bien que es esto.
Windows Vista Ultimate. Incluye todo, es el más completo y por ende más caro, otros de los que serán los más utilizados.
Windows Vista Perfect, que no incluye nada más que el Live CD de Ubuntu Dapper. Parece que Vista Perfect no va a aparecer cuando Vista salga al mercado, las otras 6 versiones sí.
Dejo aquí una tabla comparativa de lo que cada versión incluye:

Si quieren tener la mejor version de windows vista por un “bajo” precio solo compren la version home basic y NO insertes la clave de activacion y te va a pedir que selecciones la version que compraste y selecciona la Ultimate y asi tienes 30 dias para conseguirte la clave pero la puedes conseguir en cualquier lado

Si quieren tener un verdadero sistema operativo deben utilizar LINUX en cualquiera de sus distribuciones.
Todas tienen las máximas capacidades de desempeño.
Quiero decir no están segmentadas como con los sistemas operativos de Microsoft.
Píensenlo es hora de probar, no se van a arrepentir y como yo lo van a recomendar.
