Greetings all,

This is my first post, after reading many, I realized that my questions were still left unanswered. Just wondering if you guys can answer a couple short questions I have about Vista.

I am looking to buy Vista Home Premium or Ultimate upgrade. After reading about the different editions, there are two things I don't quite understand.

1) Does HP not have System Restore like XP did, or does Ultimate just have a more advance version of it?

2) If I don't purchase Ultimate, will I still be able to use Remote Desktop Connection?

Those are just two topics I found particularly confusing, but find very important in my decision.

I am planning on running Ultimate on my main box and Home Premium on my daughter's PC. Right now, I have the ability to remote into her PC through a hack (legal, posted on the net) that let's me remote in while she is still logged in (XP) without promoting her that someone needs to log in.

If I upgrade as stated above, will this work? Can I remote into her Home Premium box while she is logged in without any prompting? We will be a home network in a workgroup setup and not a domain.

Thanks.

Ok i have already scanned my computer and can run Windows Vista Premium/Ultimate and the Aero functionality.

The question i have is i am running windows XP Medie Center Edition 2002 and im wondering if i need to buy the upgrade version of Vista or a regular version. Please someone has to know this and i cant find the answer anywhere i have looked.

Also i would like to do the family discount with the Ultimate Upgrade. So i would buy the Ultimate upgrade for about 260$ depending on where i bought it. then i would get it onto my 2nd XP home computer to upgrade to Home Premium ??? correct?

ok i got a new laptop:

HP Pavilion dv6247cl
Centrino Duo - 1.73 GHz / 2.0 gigs RAM
110 gigs of hard drive

it had vista home premium originally; with all bunch of free trial programs

i reinstalled vista home premium to vista ultimate; kinda lost some drivers but now its all back
except one thing

my laptop has some "quick play" buttons for "quick time player and dvd player"
those don't work now
and laptop also has a little remote control for vista media center; DVD; quick play;
that also doesn't work
