windows xp pro what vista version comparable

I run Windows XP Pro w/SP2 here and am planning on running Vista. My question is, what version of Vista is going to be comparable to the Windows XP Pro that I am running now? I saw the list of different versions of Vista, something like 7 different flavors I believe, and it's confusing me. Can anyone help? Thanks. :-)

Windows Vista Business Edition is probably close in my opinion. Go for the Ultimate Edition though if you can afford it as it is the "no compromise" version. "Jean-Paul Ladue" wrote in message

Thanks for the tip, and BTW is there any pricing available yet?

I suspect the following upgrade paths will be Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate Edition since XP Professional share the same common core architecture with Microsofts previous generation Business operating systems.

There are no upgrades that you need to do unless none of your optical drives are DVD. "Jean-Paul Ladue" wrote in message

The Business version, especially for a laptop or business computer. It has the networking / remote etc. capabilities that enable laptops and businesses. Both Home versions lack these features.

Then you're all set. My mother's computer also has a Sony DVD burner. It's a DVD-RW burner. It's the older generation where it's maximum burn speed is 4x. (Bought in in December of 2004.) Nowadays, most of them are 16x. "Jean-Paul Ladue" wrote in message
