That's a useful table, Chris - thanks for higlighting the article.

I made the mistake of buying Vista Ultimate (in part on the promise of the 'Ultimate Extras' promised by Microsoft that never materialised) and it was certainly a waste of money. I think I'd be pretty happy with Windows 7 Home Premium although I still wish they'd simplified the SKUs a bit. I really hope they come out with a 'home licence' option given more and more of us have multiple PCs.

One bit I was a bit surprised to see in the table was the lack of Presentation Mode from Home Premium - given it's in the equivalent Vista version (and is quite handy on a laptop for quickly ensuring the screensaver stays off and screen stays on). It's certainly not something worth paying for but seems funny they've moved it from Home Premium to Ultimate.
