Excellent Vista Version Matrix

It’s all over the sites now, but ExtremeTech has an awesome Matrix of all the versions of Vista and all the features in them so you can quickly glance and see what you need.

I still stand by my assessment that Home Premium is perfect for the Home/Gamer user. I don’t need BitLocker, Shadow Volume copy or other things like that which is what you get with the Business editions and then with Ultimate you get it all… so if you didn’t need it in the Business editions, you certainly don’t need Ultimate.

If you want drive encryption AND media center, you have to get the Ultimate edition.

Shadow volume copy can be a lifesaver… it allows you to roll back to previous versions of a file (say you overwrite a file, or accidentally delete a folder).

Although, if you’re using a NAS that takes snapshots, you won’t need it (unless you want it for your system drive).
