Vista Home Basic vs Home Premium?

[Radio Monk33]

Hey guys and girls,

I was just wondering if there's any real difference between these 2 versions of Vista, 25$ price premium. I'd be using it in bootcamp, probably mostly for games..

Home Premium includes Media Center and the aero interface, and a few other little things. There is a comparison chart at Microsoft. Just go to Vista's home page and it should be easy to find.

I personally think it's worth the extra 25 bucks. Aero does take the window composition and moves it to the video card, whereas in Vista Basic and XP, the processor handles the window composition.
