Microcrap Ping
For any sophisticated home users MS pretty much forces you to buy the most expensive "ultimate" version. There is a "Deluxe Home" version with serveral things most home users would want on their computer but this version of Vista doesn't have remote desktop or vpn capabilities. That's BS. Many, many home users use their machine to log onto their work computers via remote desktop. Microsoft intentionally left this out of Vista (it's in XP) Home version to force most of us to have to shell out the extra bucks. Forget it, I see no reason to trade XP for some eye candy and massive DRM crippleware.
