Is Vista Business good for gaming?

Hi all,

Is the Business edition of Vista better than Home Premium for gaming?

Thanks.

For gaming- it's all the same.

The only features are business differences (Remote Desktop, domains, etc).

And lack of media center apps, movie maker, and a few others.... but like zacdl said, the core OS is identical - you can use the same drivers & the same version of DirectX is used on all versions of Vista. (well, 32/64 bit have diff drivers)

business doesn't have movie maker?

Business users are unlikely to need to make movies.

In fact, Vista Business has Movie Maker.

I stand corrected. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/default.mspx

There ya go - full list of application bundle differences.

According to this site, Business does not include movie maker: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_02.asp

But then, it also says Business has Premium Games which only should be in Home Premium. If I ever install my copies of Premium and Business, I could say for sure!

I'm currently running Windows Vista Business x64 and I can confirm it has Movie Maker.

Add another confirmation on Business having Movie Maker. I'm not sure what that has to do with gaming, but all versions of Vista will perform the same in gaming.
