Computerhilfen.com: When is Windows Vista available for me?

I have a question about windows vista. The business edition is coming soon, but the consumer version comes later. Can i get the business edition as a consumer? Or do i have to wait till the consumer version comes out.

And does anyone know something about prices?

Vista Home is aviable at January 2007 (Amazon.com). You can also use the Business-Version (rich?).

Thank you for your fast answer!

I have another question though. Is there any significant difference between the home and business version? I have Windows (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-w-Windows.html) XP professional right now, and it has some items windows (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-w-Windows.html) home edition doesn't have, like remote assistance (at least i think home edition doesn't have that). I also understood XP professional is more secure than home edition.

Anyone knows if the differences in vista home and business are a bit (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-b-BIT.html) the same? Or do they differ more?

According to wikipedia, the Windows (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-w-Windows.html) Vista Business edition is comparable to XP Pro: It also includes the IIS Webserver and a remote desktop.

Thanks, will take a good look at it.

It has to do with what you want to do with your computer, (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-c-Computer.html) and preferences (and money ofcourse). Just take a good look at what both versions can do, so you can make a good decision.

What do you actually want to do with your computer? (http://www.computerhilfen.de/fachbegriffe-c-Computer.html) Maybe the people on this forum are better able to help you then.
