Windows Vista....it's just an operating system, dude!

Thursday 03 January 2008 at 04:31 am I bought a new laptop a few months ago - the trusty old Dell Inspiron had been warning about imminent hard drive failure for a while, and it turned out that getting a new hard drive would cost a decent chunk which I could put towards a brand spanking new laptop.
It's another Dell Inspiron, and it came with "Vista Business" as the operating system. It's nice and shiny, feels a touch more stable and responsive than XP. I like the way it works with the network - it's pretty much seemless when connecting to the Roku Soundbridge in the bedroom, it recognizes my Linux media centre PC in the living room, and can automatically stream music from the MP3 vault.
I was curious, however, to see what the difference was between my "Vista Business" edition and the other flavours - after all, I use it only for home use, so is there something I'm missing out on? (more)
