If upgrading to Windows 7, which version would you choose?

My copies of Professional are scheduled to ship on the 22nd of October

I tend to go with the total bells and whistles package. Then trim and tweak to suite.

 

If I do decide to go to Windows 7 it would be the Home Premium edition.
Most likely I'd buy a new set up; hard drive, monitor, the works.

 

home premium lite on my computer

but windwos 7 ultimate its eat the ram and its not good for me i dont like it

 

Thats why I prefer Ultimate because of the multiple language feature. The extra cost is worth it to me to get this functionality.

 

OK, i REALLY wanted to buy upgrade to Home Premium, BUT, i just found out that my beloved university decided to cover my faculty with convention with MS and i get Windows 7 Professional (accademic license) for FREE. I opted for the 64bit version.

Downloading as we speak (although i won't install it immediately).

 

I won't be upgrading because my computer won't run it but it I were it would be just the Home Premium version. Nothing in the Professional or Ultimate versions that I would really need.

 

Best thing you can do is find a nice MS employee and buy it off him/her for 25 bucks, any which version

Just installed W7 Ultimate and Office 2007 Enterprice, bought together for €26 only. (Teacher/Student price here in Holland).

Lucky guys ! MS sent me an email on Thursdays (22 October) that the disks were on their way to me but I received them today .

 

Accepted wisdom seems to be that clean install is the way to go - is that what you're doing?

Yes , I just did a clean install even though I was running Vista .
Everything took exactly 23 minutes - installation , setting up username , etc . Didn't require a single driver . Very nice - just like the RC version

 

Quote, the same for me.

 

Windows 7 Professional. (Remember XP Pro)

That was the only version they had available throught MSDN AA.
They actually had both x86 and x64 flavours.

 

I'm in no rush, but when I make the move it will be to HP as I don't need the extra baggage of Pro/Ult for the family's PCs! However, at work we will most likely go with Ult.

 

Home Premium

 

Home Premium. I'm going to be upgrading this weekend!

 

I have often wondered when I buy my netbook for the purposes listed in your link is 7 Starter good enough? Why pay more and why slow it up. Will it handle Office 2010 for the occassional letter or simple spreadsheet? I thought the netbook would make a nice light traveling companion when I am away from home.

 

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64

 

Home Premium here for wife's laptop

 

Ultimate, as it has AppLocker, and other versions dont.
Pro is also allright as it has Software Restriction Policies; the lower versions dont.

 

I have chosen Win7 Home Premium.I managed to find one of them Family Packs at my local Hardware store
