Vista Home Premium: $299
Vista Home Basic: $259
I don't know how different US prices are but it would be more interesting to see how the different versions stack up in terms of lack of usability!

Well, apparently M$ will be pushing the Premium and Ultimate versions over the Basic version - no surprise there. It's all marketing hype as far as I'm concerned. Why they even bother with the crippleware "home" versions of the OS is beyond me.
I'm glad that Apple has seen fit to keep things simple; desktop and server versions and that's it. All the whistles and bells, one package. Keep it that way, Apple!!!

Those EU Fines might have something to do with it?
Now they might just be globalizing the stripped down version also, so they can have more money out of?
Didn't know you can even find THAT on Wikipedia?

Maybe they'll be less dysfunctional than the other versions; well probably not!
