Vista Home Premium

I am little confused which Windows Vista version is like Windows XP Pro? Ulitmate? Home Premium?

My computer has Windows XP Pro OEM should I buy an upgrade version or a full retail version?

I am not sure if I am ready for 64-bit OS and I am going to upgrade to 2GB memory.
 
Business is the closest to XP pro. Most people don't need that for a home environment though. I think Home Premium is the best match for most people. I'd probably stick with 32bit for the time being. You can always get the 64bit disc from MS for about $10 shipped.
 
In a nutshell:

Home Basic >> XP Home
Home Premium >>> XP Media Center
Business >>> XP Professional

Ultimate combines the best features of both Home Premium and Business; it has no XP equivalent.

I recommend either Home Premium or Business, depending on the features you need. Here is a very nice and comprehensive list with all the features for every edition.
 
And if you need both Home Premium and Vista features, you then are at Ultimate.
 
I ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor program to scan my system and suggested me to upgrade to Vista Business.

I read link from Noema and I feel that Business version is like too much bloat like some stuff that I don't need and Home Premium might lack what Business have such as Fax Program.

It is a hard decision for me 🙁
