Seriously the main difference is the basic version doesnt have the Aero Glass interface

Stick vista basic vs premium into google and you can browse liks all day

Stay with xp unless you have a very good reason to upgrade.

Check the specs of your computer very carefully before upgrading - if you are short on ram dont even think of upgrading.

is a good site for ram memory related tests.

Very true but they are starting to cost more than a Vista Machine

Hopefully I can fix the problems and make my present PC last until Windows 7 cames out and is evaluated. and I always have the laptop with Windows ME.
