What differences are there between versions of Windows 7?

[The Unnamed]

Or, whats best?

[Roast Beast]

Home Premium.

[The Unnamed]

Yeah, thats what I would have thought :)

[Pirate Ninja]

Im using Ultimate but you are best off with Home Premium really.

[The Unnamed]

Is it faster than other versions or something?

[kevkev]

Ultimate has the most features, but the price is to high to be worth it.

[The Unnamed]

Ahh, ok thanks :)

Sorry but whats XP VM?

[BananasGoMoo]

[QUOTE=The Unnamed;17733663]Sorry but whats XP VM?[/QUOTE]

a virtual machine with a free licensed XP.

[johanz]

If need a VM that much, just get virtualbox. It's free too.
But you will need your own XP though.

Does that come installed on the OS or is it an additional program you have to install?

If you don't get pro you can download it but on pro it comes included I think

When I can get either HP or Pro for the same price, I think I'd side with pro, even if I don't have a use for some bits.

if you dont have pro or higher you have to get a XP license to be able to use it.

You have to go to Microsoft's website to download it, not sure if you can get it through Windows update.
