If/When I have to I will be going for home premium myself.  TBH, I dont think the pricing for the home versions is that terrible.  You save a heck of a lot with the OEM versions that you might as well by a new hard disk to go with it.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM - 1Pk (66I-00788 )

Ã,£66.99
(Ã,£78.71)

Yeah later in the year when it may get a little cheaper, new service packs are out fixing a load of the bugs and the 64 bit support gets better I probably will do that.

QuoteWithout an exception, they all think its too early and the drivers wonââ,¬â,,¢t be that polished for 64 bit either. AMD and Intel have CPUs which can support 64 operating systems but the drivers are still lame, unpolished and slow compared with 32 bit.

Vista 64 bit will continue to be their ultimate goal but unfortunately Vista 32 bit will remain the dominant one. Intel said that Vista 32 is fine as it will address 2.75 or 3.25GB from the 4GB memory you stick in a machine. Graphics drivers are the weakest link. This news will certanly make some memory vendors cry into their beers. Ã,µ

*BUT VENDORS are wetting themselves for a great Q2 this year simply because of Vista. The real upgrade and new machine wave is set to start in late Q1 and to continue riding on Q2. Everyone expected great Q4 2006 but Vista got delayed and screwed that all.
