Do NOT buy Vista until service Pack 2 as it will take that long to work out all the kinks.
I bought a new computer this past Monday and by Tuesday evening I had reinstalled XP.
I have internet connection with Telefonica and Vista refuses to recognize it!
Plus loads of programs are not compliant with Vista yet and it's not worth the hassle.
Don't take my word (OR Microsofts) for it.
Just do a variation of "Vista problem" in your favourite search engine.

Go to Microsoft's web site to compare all versions of Vista.
Is it worth $89. A better question is Vista worth trying? Stick with XP until Vista releases Service Pack 1.

Premium has media center and Aero, basic doesnt. The security is a little more user configurable too.
