I was looking at the differences between these 2 versions of vista. Are there any functional differences, by that I mean. What will a pc loaded with basic not be able to do compared with premium?
I can see that the visual effects are different & some search features are on premium only but will the pc function for normal use with networking support, graphics support for games & running all windows programs?
