Just installed Vista Business. Got it off a mate, so dont know why its business!!
Not sure how legit it is.....so is it worth updating it, or could that cock things up etc. Is there pointless things running which I should turn off?? Is so where?
Any other points with it would be great.

Cheers

I update mine an ir works fine... mine is ultimate.  ;)

Id rather ultimate tbh, but just got Business what ever that is! :lol:

Is there any service packs etc out?

Business has most of the main functions youll use in a domain, and not much of the really fancy features that are in Ultimate.  I use business as my secondary boot as I get it free under my MSDN licence.  However I still use XP64 for the vast majority of my windows usage.

Shame i dont have ultimate really!!

Will i be missing anything whic XP Pro had?

I dont think so, except i can say with my hand on my heart my XP install is _much_ more responsive than my Vista one, on the same machine, and they boot from the same RAID array.

What, just generally faster etc you mean??

Just fancied trying vista TBH. Although it looks different, I cant tell much of a difference yet. Although ive only used it for an hour up to now.

How do you view the hidden files?? Before in XP youd go View --> summat --> then summat and check the View hidden files thingy......cant find that now??
