There is no enterprise edition at all. Basic is just the bare components, little visuals. Premium is the one most users want. We had to watch an entire video segment on Windows Vista at BestBuy today and it covered all of this.

Windows Vista has few if any benefits, so I won't be paying that kind of money to upgrade to it. I'll be glad to stick with XP for the foreseeable future.

There is a Vista Enterprise it is only avaliale to Enterprises via volume licensing. There is no way that a home/small business user can obtain Enterpprise edition.

And yes i do agree that Vista will be a waste of money for many people. I personally will be staying with XP for the time being until at least SP1 for vista comes out. That way i will get it when all the major bugs have been ironed out.

Also, in my opinion hackers will spend more time targeting Vista specifically, so it would be better to remain with xp that will not be targeted as much.
