To add one point that ticked me off. On my new system, I I have a TV Wonder
tuner card. ATI states that it is Vista ready. BUT, the required drivers are
NOT in the Vista Business edition. Only Premium and Ultra have the required
editions to run said card. So be careful when reading web sites for any
additional peripherals.

To clarify one point: the home versions of vista also have all "the
networking stuff", it's just that they are not designed to connect to a
window domain controller. This would never come up for a home user, but
could possibly come up for someone who wants to bring their home pc into
work and attach it to the work network in order to print.
Someone has pointed out that the home versions of vista don't come with the
full backup utility that the more expensive versions do (they come with a
limited backup utility).
Pointing out that you have to buy a more expensive version of jaws in order
to work with the higher end vista versions is a very good point, and I don't
know, if you already own jaws 9 home edition, if there's even an upgrade
path to allow you to upgrade it to the professional version of jaws that you
need.
Vista does have an upgrade path, built into itself, so you can start with a
cheaper version, and if you find you need some feature in the more expensive
versions, you can connect to the internet and upgrade it at any time. This
means anyone worried about the future doesn't have to start out with an
expensive business or ultimate edition.

Hello.
The differences in the vista versions are as follows. You have Vista home
basic which is the cheapest version of Windows and it does not have the Aero
interface, or a lot of the media stuff. Next there is home premium which
has everything included in home basic plus all the media stuff and it would
be the version recommended for most home users. Then you move on to Windows
Vista business which has all of the networking features and business
features however leaves off the home features like the games as an example.
Then you move on to Windows Vista ultimate which is essentially Windows home
premium and Windows Vista business combined. The rest of your versions
someone from a small office workplace or home user in my opinion shouldn't
even look at.
If you are buying a computer strictly for home use I would go with Windows
home premium which by the way the home version of Jaws for Windows will work
with. If you are using it strictly for business I would go with Windows
Vista business and if you are going to use it for both I would go with
Windows Vista ultimate edition.
The thing you need to watch out for is Jaws for Windows are no other screen
reader for that matter will run on a 64-bit operating system. You need to
make sure the operating system that you are getting is a 32-bit operating
system.
I hope this helps.
