Windows 7: Which one will you be going for?

[Clowgon]

- Home Premium

- Professional

- Ultimate

Probably go for Premium could always get a decent Bit Locker software off
the internet for free or for a small price.

Windows XP Mode looks promising so it would probably be between Premium and Professional.

Home Premium or Ultimate.

be careful with xp mode, your processor might not have hardware visualization or something it needs..

Pro as i expect it to be the one i can get free of MSDNAA (this based on the fact vista business is the vista copy up now, and XP pro is the xp copy :p)

Why would anyone need anything other than home premium?

XP mode is aimed at businesses who have software that was developed for old operating systems and have kept their computers on old OSs to keep them compatable. I can't think of a use for XP mode except for that tbh, unless you want to run reeally old games.

Xp mode with seemless ie6 is useful for lazy web devs
Though in Truth my choice is mostly about price

I have a few old games that will only work on xp not Vista and... Just maybe a few minor problems with Hardware/software with W7? That could occur.

I'm hopefully going to pre-order the premium one.
