Hi
I am not sure what version I should buy windows 7 home premium or windows 7 pro edtion.
I am running xp pro right now but I am not sure if windows 7 pro edtion is worth the extra money from the charts I seen its mostly like encryption they add and remote desktop and stuff like that what I prob would not use anyways.
What I run most of the time and I am most concerned about is will premium come with the option to install IIS?
Then should I get 64bit or 32bit?
I am kinda scared my stuff won't work or my programs I use won't work.

Ya thats the best I could find it should be the same. I don't care if it is not by default. I had to install it manually for windows XP its not a big deal as long as it can use it.
Also I am looking into this sweet upgrade deal and I went to staples.ca and went to order. Yet they don't give me a choice for 64bit or 32bit.
Does that mean they are giving both away?

I would go for home premium. Unless you want xp-mode and other junk and keep in mind most pcs can't use xp-mode then go for home premium. Its way cheaper and will do great.

Ya the more I read I think home premium is the way to go but now I can figure out if they will give you both 32bit and 64bit since I can't find the option too choose which one I want.
The stores that sell them just show Home premium English edition and French edition no 32 or 64 bit choice.

Well I found out according to the window 7 site it will come with both 32-bit and 64-bit!
"This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions."

From what I heard Windows 7 is good(I hope) I have not tried it yet but still going to pre order it since it is so dam cheap so I guess I am taking a bit of a risk but I can't hold onto XP forever.
I was hoping to try it out through my school since I will get a free copy from them but since it is academic licensed if I do any sort of commercial stuff I have to buy a real license so I don't want to lose this chance at a cheap legit copy.
