It just depends if you "need" the additional options/functions that come with Ultimate...

Have you been to the MS site that compares/shows the differences?

they made it sound like it was

they made it sound like it was a special edition...

it is apparently just some Beta plastic sequins on the box because the "Ultimate" aspects are coming out as add-ons to the Premium edition..

thanks.. they had an offer for discount on the VGA i already bought.., but that is the only thing i saw as useful

thanks

Am I reading that SKU right when I see that Vista Premium does not have support for multiple processors? Does that mean that if I want Dual or Quad core chips I will need to buy ultimate?

Multi processors (more then one cpu) isn't the same as a multi core processor
