Is Ultimate edition necessary?

[Machinus]

I don't want to spend $230 just so I can use more RAM and play Halo 2.

So...can I get by with Business? What is the best option?

imo, best bang for the buck is home premium 64bit $140 http://store.purplus.net/wivihopr64.html

I you have always used XP Home and were happy with the features then Vista Premium is for you. I love it and don't miss any of the extra features of the more expensive versions and I like the built in Media Center.

I want something with the smallest possible footprint. I use XP Pro with tons of stuff disabled.

I am looking at Business, but it's still a :banana::banana::banana::banana: ton of money.

You most definitely don't need business. If you won't use the Media Player aspect go with the Business edition.

id get business

[zanzabar]

the necessary stuff in ulti that home dosnt have is in be, and be is the same just no bit locker or media center making it the best choice for most people

I'd go with home premium.
