im not really sure.
Im a sucker for advertising. Take the gillette adverts, as soon as they release a new razor with 3243928479 blades I have to buy it.
Vista was the same, I say "ultimate" in the title and bought it !
I know one version doesnt have the "aero" interface but I think that is the basic one, home and ultimate have them I think.
I went for 64 bit as I wanted to take advantage of the core duo chip, but I'm yet to see any difference. You get a 32 bit and 64 bit version of IE7 but I'll be fucked if I can tell the difference.
I'm only winding you guys up anyways, If I wasn't involved with the mass roll out of vista at work to 175000 machines I'd of stuck with XP !

Sam I know its scary (like moving for IE to firefox  ) but dont be afraid, what doesnt blow your machine up will only make its stronger
