Which Edition is the Best for Netbooks

[hariharan]

Hi people,

I was wondering which edition is the Best(of Course Windows Vista) for Netbooks.

Which do you suggest.

1.Windows Vista Starter
2.Windows Vista Home Basic
3.Windows Vista Home Premium
4.Windows Vista Business
5.Windows Vista Ultimate.

Currently I am running Windows Vista Starter which is not good in eye candy but does the work. Only irritating thing is the Windows Vista Starter Logo on the Lower right side off the screen.

Well.... Post your thoughts.

If you want performance, then why not upgrade to Windows 7.

From here you have a few options:

-Windows 7 Home Premium
-Windows 7 Professional
-Windows 7 Ultimate

If you want more features, then Ultimate has the most features. If you just want to have Windows 7 with the least number of features (and the cheapest), then Home premium is the right version. Professional sits in the balance between these two versions.

If you still can't decide on what version then:

Tom, I specifically said Windows Vista only.

I am not a Windows 7 person.

Last thing I would add is Windows Vista Ultimate has more features than Windows 7 Ultimate, example Dreamscene,

Sorry.

With more features, comes less memory and a worse battery life. So do you want to have these features (and less memory and battery life), or have less features and a better battery life and more memory?

Heyy,
My netbook is an Acer Aspire One 751h, it came pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Basic, and it runs great, no aero or course, but thats what seems best for it.

When the warranty expires in december im going to put Ubuntu on there, since it will run great because its made for older configurations.

Hope this helps you,
Daniel =)

As Tom says memory and battery problems occur in Vista ultimate so it is recommended that you use vista ultimate for a desktop pc because it will run faster and smoother that on a laptop and you don't have any issues with the battery. I suggest for a laptop you have either:

Home Basic
Home Premium

and maybe Business but that is for mainly businesses

Hope this helps,
Josh

You are right Tom, No need for apologies here.

I created this thread here in chillout section for everyone to discuss and not to discuss about my Netbook in specific.

I prefer to go for Home Basic and the reasons are:
-- No Aero, instead Windows Standard(which acts a little like Aero)
-- Better Battery life
-- Lighter on resources even compared to Windows 7 Starter.


BTW I think even Netbook Manufacturers should give Windows Vista Home Basic instead of Windows 7 Starter(Restricted Edition)

What do you people say about that?

 

[Shadowjk]

I have to agree with your point for Net-books don't have as many cells as most laptops
