Why don't we all just cool our freakin' jets, and wait until the game comes out. There are so much "0mg can maii sp3c5 run iiyt?!1" threads going on now it's not even amazing. You really suspect Basic is going to affect gameplay? It is STILL Vista.

I have Business, and it works fine, I doubt Basic can be much different. Just get it and don't bug us...

Right. If Business is fine, Basic should be just about basic.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Do not get Vista Basic. It's totally worthless. Buy a system builders' version of Home Premium off of Newegg.com and you'll be sooo much happier.

Agreed. Vista Basic is crap.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

That is why they call it basic, since when has anything with the word basic behind it been good? Thats right its not basic its usually hard and frustrating, and its name is vista "BASUCK"!

I don't think you even get Games Explorer for that crap.

Home Premium is all a gamer really needs.

No matter what kind of Windows Vista you have, its still Windows Vista and your version won't affect your gameplay maybe except Ultimate which takes even higher advantage of the vertex shaders.

Yeah, you do.

I'm stuck getting basic, I'm thinking about going up one step, and hope Trubo CAD 11 pro still works, but that would mean I need more money.
*Looks at last pay cheack*
I think I can it $300 in 3 weeks, maybe 4.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

if your PC is mainly used for gaming I'd suggest Home Premium. That's what I got.
