Chart comparing features of versions of Vista?

[boe]

I've seen several snippets of this version has this feature and that version
has all the features what I'd love to see is a chart lik you see for
comparing electronics - across the top listing the versions of vista and
then down the side a long list of features and then a little bullet marker
so I know which one has one.

Has anyone seen one like that? I'd think that would be the first link on
MS's Vista page but maybe they haven't come to a full spec on what version
will have what?

A chart would make it much easier for me to compare - not sure about other
people.

Not quite what you want but this is not bad. Scroll-way down:

Thanks! That is outstanding - that is VERY HELPFUL! I appreciate it!

Wonder why MS wouldn't publish something like this to help clients decide?

Now that I look at it if they just added media center to the business
edition most of my clients would be happy - too bad you have to pay so much
more to get that in the business edition.

All you need now is the Amazon price list

What does "Windows Activation Services" mean? I see YES for all the home
versions, except Ultimate. NO for all business versions and Ultimate.

They probably will when it is released. In the mean time, the information is
out there...

.... it's just not formatted as beautifully because system integrators and
VARs are typically competent to do more homework than the Vista consumers
such as those who visit Paul Thurrott's site.

Yeah that was the bit of fluff I was referring too - really helps you
choose!

There will information about that in a few weeks or so.

Vista Business users would have to upgrade (or just outright buy) Ultimate
to get media center.
