What is Included in the Premium Editions of Microsoft Vista

By George Christodoulou

This is part 2 in a two part series where I try to filter though the features only found on the premium editions of Windows Vista. If you have not read Part 1, click here to do so now. In the previous part, I spoke about some features that are featured in each version as well as a few that are only found in the home premium edition. Now I will continue by going over more features found in the premium home and business addition and then by ending with the features that are only in the business premium edition.

7. Scheduled backup feature

One of the great new features allow you to prevent data loss. In the business edition, you will get more of these features but the home premium edition has a fine version of this. What you get is a program that allows you to choose when and where you want your files to be backed up. This will help you prevent loss when you do something, well, “dumb”. Simple scheduling wizard.

In addition, there is another feature that goes with this that saves you when you save over or modify a file by accident. This will usually erase your old file. If you are typing a paper and you save something with the same name over it, your original will be gone. This feature will help you bring the old version back.

8. Windows DVD Maker

This is one feature that only comes in the Home Premium and Ultimate edition. With this feature, you will be able to turn your home movies into professional looking movie quality films. This is for anyone who creates videos at home and wants to make them a little more realistic and cool. There is also built in slide show features that allow you to turn your photos into moving pictures.

9. New Premium Games

With Microsoft Vista, you will be able to take advantage of new fun games. Before the only games that came with your computer were solitaire and mine sweeper. Now there are 3-D games with visually pleasing effects that are actually fun. For those who work with there computer and want a little break without investing on a game they will play for 5 minutes, this feature is for you.

Well, that is all for the features found in Vista home premium and some of the other versions. Now I want to get into the features that are only provided in the business premium version only.

1. Complete Computer Restore

Found only in the business edition, you can completely restore your computer in case files are corrupt and there is a problem. Sometimes when a mistake is made or when a virus infects a network of computers you need to restore entire machines. This feature is perfect for that. In addition, you can also do a restore in case your computer does not start up.

2. Network Sharing Center

This is a feature that allows you to see different information about your connectivity and network status. It maps out all the information about your connection with other computers in a network as well as connection to the internet.

Well, thats all you need to know. Those are all the features you will find in the premium editions. Note that you can get all the features and one extra data protection feature in the Ultimate version. From what I learned during my research, even though the basic version is cheaper, you don’t get any of the more advanced features that make Vista what it is. You make the decision!
