As far as I am aware there is no such thing as "Windows 7 Home Ultimate". "Home" is an entry level system, though I think that's only available to large OEMs because I've never seen anything less than "Home Premium". "Ultimate" is the top of the range for consumers (the only one "above" that is "Enterprise" and you probably can't get that unless you are a multi- user business). "Ultimate" is the only one out of the Windows 7 consumer offerings which has multilingual capability. <http://www.windows7.cc/windows-7-features/windows-7-product-editions-comparison-chart/> 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. > Some say 32bits, some 64bits... > > Which version should I buy - 32bits or 64bits? Go for the 64-bit version. The only reason to go for the 32 bit version is if you want support for older devices which only have 32 bit drivers available. Here's a tip: Look for the OEM version of Ultimate because it will be a lot cheaper. <http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/is-it-ok-to-use-oem-windows-on-your-own-pc-dont-ask-microsoft/1561> FWIW my OEM version of Windows 7 Ultimate was something like USD 200 and at the time the full retail price in Switzerland was about USD 500; Microsoft were price gouging in my country, so it was a no brainer to go the OEM route. -- Paul Sture The final step of #heartbleed recovery is to call your mother, and advise her to change her maiden name -- @gojomo

I have MS Remote Desktop for my XPPro, but have never used it.

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.

I add the was(?) because I am not sure how easy it is to get Windows 7 any more. Perhaps they are charging extra for it because Windows 8 is now out. Windows 8 Pro comes with multilingual support, though when you do an upgrade to 8.1 it dumps you back to one language only, so you have to download and install any other language packs you have added again. -- Paul Sture The final step of #heartbleed recovery is to call your mother, and advise her to change her maiden name -- @gojomo

Denmark is a small market where it's very hard to put presure on a reseller to lower pricing. - That's not only on computer stuff, but also on digital cameras and accessories. Just a small example... I have a Canon EOS 5D Mk II and was looking for a prime zoom lens ala EF 24-70mm/f:2.8L II USM or similar. You can find this new ver. on eBay.de for less than €1300EUR, apprx. $1780USd- Price in Denmark is 14.999Dkr. = $2708USd. And if you can use a used in 'mint condition' instead, you can get it as low as apprx. €950EUR on eBay.de. I found a review on DPReview with a comparison with another of those I had in mind - a Tamron SP A009 28-75mm/f:2,8 Di LD. There was a series of +2x10 pictures which I carefully studied and decided to choose the one giving the best pictures no matter the price. I chose without reading the review first, and to my surprise it was the Tamron 28-75mm I've chosen! - Normal Danish stock price was 7995Dkr. = $1443USd, and I can add that I'm not the slightest disappointed with the choice... The review had only one 'minus' about the Tamron - it is without picture stabilization... I asked one of my friends who buys and sells a lot of camera equipment on the net to find a good one in minimum 'excellent condition'. He found a boxed one in the UK for me to a price of $439USd = 2431Dkr. incl. shipping. This lens is and looks as if it never has been out of the store - i.e. it is totally like new... - The same he did for me with a Sigma 17-35mm/f:2,8-4,0 EX-DG HSM, the top model of their wide angle lenses. - Boxed 'like new' 2500Dkr. ($451USd) on eBay in the UK. Normal stock price in Denmark is 8995Dkr. / $1624USd. New price in the UK are apprx. $975-1100USd depending on the store... And here we're again back to why I also might have a minor need though for Win7. - I have an app on the Canon CD which allows me to directly record HD video to disk in Win7 - no Mac version of this app available...

Yea. I wanted to postpone, and hit the wrong key.
News propagation is now so damn fast I couldn't
cancel before it'd been sent around the world.
I was going to say a simplified comparison chart is
here (scroll down a bit)...

The s/w I use under WinXP happens to be 32 bit compatible and does not
run on Win7-64. So I'd have to use Win7-32 - this may come about some
day but I'm in no hurry.
That's what you need to look for - what s/w you'll be running under
Win7. I believe it has some modes for WinXP or otherwise 32 bit
programs even if installed as 64... someone will know those details.
