    Ultimate vs Home Premium?

    Hi, I recently saw a thread on another forum where a guy reviewed a computer and he said "remember to buy Windows 7 Ultimate to increase performance!", is this true? Does Home perform worse than Ultimate?

    no, ultimate does not perform better then home premium, you get ultimate when there is a feature you need, such as rdp, or bit locker, but for 99% of people, home premium is perfect

    There's a Wikipedia page that lists the differences. Too lazy to look for it but it is out there. Performance wise there should be no difference.

    I got Professional purely for the XP compatibility mode.
