New flavor: Genuine Windows® Vista Home Premium
Shipped with new Compaq notebook. What's the difference? Maybe if we got
Vista Ultimate it would have taken less than a week to get online with
wireless.

No it is also being interpreted as being for sale to folks who build
their own. Newegg sells them with a warning,

That is for people who are building systems for resale, not for their own
use.
There are four flavors of Vista.
Home, Home basic, Business and Business Premium.
Actually, there are five: Home, Home Basic, Business, Enterprise, and
Ultimate (what you are calling Business Premium, I think), in
ascending order of what they contain (this can be read to be "more
good stuff"
Yes it is, or with someone who has purchased the components to build
a computer.
I could buy an OEM to go along with the system I built this past
year. It would only be valid with that system and could not be
transferred over to any other system.
Some guys have been buying OEM's to slap on
Ultimate and the Business premium I was mentioning are the same cat.
And the prices you show there are for OEM. The licence on OEM
specifically prohibits it being installed in a virtual computer.
MS wants them to spend a whole bunch for a full copy of Business or
Ultimate to use it that way.

Is this not the stuff that is supposed to be sold only with a computer?

Home, Home basic, Business and Business Premium.
Of the four the upper two are the best of the bunch and from what I
understand the only ones MS Legal to run on parallels.
However you will also pay a premium.
Also note that when you get into Vista there are n

Arrghh - there you situation normal - screwed up by not scouring
looking for cheapest possible. Then again, I'm leery of going
with the OEM version, I know it would be okay, but I'm going
for the least hassle and
Vista is more than XP with security turned on. It's built in. Since
security, or the lack there of, is one of XP's major flaws, I say that's
sufficient reason to choose Vista.
If you're going to use Parallels, keep in mind that you must buy a business
edition of Vista (vs one of the home edition

I have just loaded XP onto a new MacBook Pro and it's running quite

for making their computers bootup with Windows. Parallels on the
other hand allows the Mac OS & the Windows

Unless she is a software developer needing to test applications on
specific platforms, the first question to ask is "says who?" Nine times
out of ten this is a bogus line given by some IT t
No reason at all to use 64bit, I'd stick with xp unless she has some

Bought wife a new iMac 2.4g 24". lots of questions. got parallels, now she

she want/need the 64 bit versio
