Paul Thurrott has revealed the Windows Vista product editions today. Basically, it comes down to the fact that the Windows team was jealous of all the different product editions the Office team has wielded since 1997. :P
Windows Vista Home Premium will be a good buy for most home users because it contains Media Center functionality and doesn’t have a lot of the additional overhead stuff the Business editions have. I hope to see either Vista Enterprise or Vista Ultimate deployed – integrated Virtual PC will be sweet! I most certainly am getting Vista Ultimate for my Vista-capable PCs at home.

I’m not going to Vista–ever. I still haven’t even gone to XP. Instead, I’m going Linux. :D I got Fedora Core 4 and SuSE 10.0 and I’ve been playing with SuSE mostly. Then somebody pointed me to these:

http://www.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xgl-demo1.xvid.avi
I’ve been trying for 15 hours to get it to install, but I just can’t get it. One RPM has dependancies for another, so I go and find that, and it needs three more, so I go find those, and each one needs 1-4, and at the bottom of the dependancy tree, that RPM wants me to downgrade 837 packages and/or remove all of them.
Use Debian or Ubuntu. Package management in these distros is fan-frickin’-tastic. Fedora and SuSE BOTH suck.
