I was told that the 'Home Ultimate' should be able to switch between languages - like OS X - without having to buy extra language kits for it. I sometiems will need this feature. - Your link to the feature table doesn't say anything about this... > Note that "Home Premium" is crippled in various ways - you can't use Remote > Desktop into it for example, which means a third party product is needed > if you want to support family or friends running it remotely. I have MS Remote Desktop for my XPPro, but have never used it. If a few times one of my friends needs to have access to my machine, we're using 'TeamViewer QuickSupport' (free version) - great little tool for such things. <http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/mac.aspx> I don't need all the multimedia apps either that come along with the three biggest versions. - Here Mac + OS X is far, far ahead of Windows - any version - except for two apps WinAmp and MiltiMatch Jukebox, but I can live with this.:-) >> Some say 32bits, some 64bits... >> >> Which version should I buy - 32bits or 64bits? > > Go for the 64-bit version.

I have thought of that... Here in Denmark prices are even higher. The cheapest one here is the 'Home Basic' to a price of apprx. $170-180USd.
