Do you need more than Windows 7 Home Premium?

As we get closer to Windows7, I’ve already seen debates begin on forums regarding the (many) multiple versions that will be released, and which one is right for their situation. While everyone will have different needs, Ed Bott has compiled a nice chart to help make your life a bit easier.

For the comparison here, I decided to strip the list down to a single, simple table, which represents the entire list of features that are in Professional or Ultimate editions that are not in Home Premium edition (with one esoteric exception, which I documetned at the end of the notes page). For comparison’s sake, I included OS X in the table as well. As you can see, OS X has much more in common with Windows 7 Home Premium than it does with the features in Professional and Ultimate editions. That shouldn’t be a surprise, because those two upgraded Windows editions are specifically aimed at customers running on Windows-based networks.
