Which Edition of Vista are You Using?
Please select the Edition you use. If you're using more than one edition, please select the MOST used one.
I'd also like to know your OPINION of the edition you're using. So, once you vote, give us some idea of how you like/dislike it. What are its main good and bad points?
Thanks!
EDIT: Should I designate 32 vs 64 bit versions? I think it's probably OK as it is since those voting and responding are stating so.

Windows Vista x64 ultimate (also used 32bit version as well.. prefer the 64bit)
Is ultimate worth it over home premium... HELL NO.... not until microsoft starts providing some considerable "Extras"......
If i had to choose again.. and pay..... definitely would stick with home premium....
So far.. i've yet to find a thing in any version of vista that i dislike/like... i mean it's fairly simple... Home Premium has everything majority of anyone will ever use plus a little more..... Ultimate has it's neato extras such as Dreamscene.... but that's about it for the bonuses....
Definitely wouldn't want basic....

I didn't vote, but if I were to buy Vista, (which I believe I will before the end of the year) it would be home premium. The only substantial thing that I will miss from home premium is that you cannot remote desktop to it. You can only do that in business and ultimate. Sure there's VNC but from my experience even on a LAN, remote desktop works better.

Home Premium 32-bit Edition for now.
i still using XP x64 and before it dies i may upgrade it to the x64 of Vista if i could. otherwise, i will never have a chance to actually use the Vista x64 Edition.
Good: i personally thinks it's the best operating system ever without a doubt.
most stable operating system, better operating system memory management than other Windows, easier to use than ever.
Bad: no, really, can't think of anything.

Ultimate 64-bit
Problems: Cisco's VPN client doesn't work, and Creative's drivers are a mess. Happy with everything else.

Recently been using Home Premium (32) for a good few months..Thanks to the recent hardware upgrade vista runs smoothly.
Just been given a copy of Vista Ultimate yesterday due to a mates pc has turned out to be incompatible due to it's age.
In general i have had very little problems with one exception.I can't get my XFI Xtreme Music s/c to work.Forced to use my onboard sound.

Cd Drivers & the new set from creative.Tried everything down to trying it out in another pci slot.That made no difference. I know the card works as no beeps or error messages show.Every driver installs ok and detects the card being used.As you can still hear some sound but it's extremely muted.
My onboard sound is pretty good but for the lack of EAX support it certainly don't match the xfi's sound.
Even tried a xfi pro gamers crd and that was identical.

The cd drivers was for the xfi pro i bought the other day,This had 'Works with Vista' on the box and included a vista drivers cd.Thinking that the card was faulty (had a few problems under xp also) was the reason i bought the card..As i said it made no difference.This has been returned to the store since.

Both PCs at home are running Ultimate x64. I preferred the x86 version for a while but once they got up to 4GB ram there was no other choice. However, I have not been disappointed and right now this is the best OS I've ever used. I will also agree with the other that the Ultimate is not worth it at all over home premium. There just isn't enough there to justify the price difference.
@Mig That is weird you cant use your X-Fi with Vista. We have the same board and mine runs great(ive run both an original xtreme music and my current xgamer pro without issues). You should try to rma the thing and enjoy better sound
