windows 7 home premium vs home basic



What is the difference between these two?



I'm trying to choose between these two for a traveling netbook (not my main system), should I really care about the Home Premium? (The price for Home Premium is more than 10% cost of the netbook)


Answer



via Wikipedia: - comparison of the windows 7 editions..




  • Home Basic("HB") is limited to 8GB of physical RAM on 64-bit systems ( 16GB on Home Premium ("HP"))


  • HB does not have in-built DVD decoders

  • HB does not have Media Center

  • HB is available in Emerging Markets only

  • HB can only join HomeGroups, HP can create & join HomeGroups



Edit: I don't think Aero makes much sense on a netbook anyway.
