    What are the main differences between Vista Ultimate and the standard?

    Is it worth paying extra for?

    No. In my opinion Home Premium is enough.

    Unless you're planning on eventually having more than 16GB of RAM in 64bit, or joining an active directory domain I wouldn't bother with it.

    You really have to have a need for it to be honest. either the disk encryption the expanded RAM (crazy expanded ram who has 16GB??) or the advanced networking functions like the enhanced remote desktop. No, for the average user Home Premium is plenty.

    as said not worth it all, it was launched with the promise of ultimate extras which have been pretty much none existant, dreamscene and bit locker and a poxy game are all there have been as far as i know :mad:

    Lucky for me i got a free copy :pac:

    for disk encryption you can use www.truecrypt.org

    and no version of Vista home has a decent backup program so if you have a machine with a restore disk instead of a proper windows dvd getting your system back up and running as was can be a real pain after a registry crash that stops it booting
