Can anyone highlight the worthwhile differences between Home Premium, Pro and Business?

I find it all very confusing.

From the sounds of it the special deal Home Premium is the one to get.

I think for us, sitting at home there isnt much point going further than home premium.

Pro gives you XP mode and domain joinability.

For those using the release candidate...how often will you want to use XP mode?

Vista is a pile of sh*t but 7 is really nice to use and runs fine on my eee 900mhz/2gb.

I might have to actually pay the gates tax on this, at least for one computer. Other one will stay on XP.

They are thinking of selling it on USB Drives too.
They are now saying they have been happy with the lack of bugs in the current build and have been able to optimse it even further so the Final version will have an even smaller footprint that it does now. Great stuff.
Finally they guys at MS Are getting it. At least in the OS. IE8 is shocking me even more. Transparent png images with drop shadows, certain opacities and IE8 Has a fit and just renders it as a block. Only browser that does. Crazy.

Oh and latest versions of outlook use the word html Rendering which is gay so all your html emails are messed up in outlook because MS think their stupid word Html output is great. (Which of course is a complete f**k wit moment in anyones thinking)
