I recently bought a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed on it. The school I'm going to in the fall (Tufts) states that Vista Business is preferable to Vista Home. My brother has a copy of Business that I could install, but I'm trying to figure out what features business has that would be better than home for me. I could also potentially pirate Ultimate, but would prefer to use the OS legally.
So, does anyone know the differences between home premium and business?

It doesn't matter, they're all the same for what most people do. You're probably never going to see any difference.

here's a link to the comparison, hebrewhammer. just scanning through the list, but the remote access and scan/fax capabilities are what stand out as what's in the business version, while the dvd and movie making capability are in the home premium (but you can always get other software for that).

Home Premium includes several Media features (Media Center, DVD Maker, etc.) that are not included in Business. Business supports numerous large network features (relating to domains and such) that may be necessary at your school.

Home Premium & Business mashed together is ultimate.
