Once I have the cash, and I am out of my current financial trench I am considering upgrading from my WinXP Pro and buying Vista. I have a system that can certainly handle Vista, even for gaming, and I'd probably install the 64bit version.
The biggest question I have remaining is which version? Retail or OEM? Ultimate or Home Premium? I like retail because I'll be able to install it as many times as I want, but I heard there was a legal trick to doing this with the OEM.
I'm thinking I want the Ultimate edition, but not completely certain of what benefits I get over Home Premium. As far as Full or Upgrade, I think I want full because installing it will be easier, among other things.
Is there anything else I need to know? What else should I be considering when making this choice?
Thanks in advance!
