I just go the Business version and not sure if I even want to try. I got XP all setup the way I like it. Haven't found a compelling reason to move just yet. Thanks for the info.

I didn't check to see what release number it was. I've since UNinstalled it, reformatted, and went back to XP Pro. My laptop only has 1GB of RAM. The interface in general seemed more Mac like. There were some widgets as well. I took it to my wifes work (she needed a fatter machine to work on temporarily). It took me about 10 minutes to join the thing to the network with a standard dynamic IP addressing scheme. I couldn't find my way around that thing to manually configure the NIC to save my life. I don't mind learning curves, but it seems that Vista is full of wizards and such to make it more dummy proof. So much so that it was hard to find the manual config areas. It seemed to be a heavy footprint on my system. Almost like one needs to have a duocore system to run this well. I'll wait until I get a duocore machine before I move to Vista. I don't need bells and whistles. Just want it to work, fast, and simple. It’s the business version. I didn’t check to see what release number it was.
