About LinkBacksDoesn't Bitlocker have a large performance hit? As it's doing the encryption in software then would DMA still work? (Since the data would always have to be processed by the processor)

I'm confused - home premium is both 64bit and media-center-y. What added security too?Originally Posted by pauldarkside

You generally speakign don't bother encrypting your games directory.
The biggest problem isn't the perfromance hit (opening of a word document hardly has any hit at all), but the limitation to recovery options, and the ease at which you can loose all your data.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Home Premium can't join a Windows Server domain and since I fart about testing and experimenting with different systems/software it's a useful feature to have. I could have gone with Business but then I'd lose Media Center.
Parm,
Although the facts within are sad, I just love the story - and the headline, too!
But, prey tell, how can someone as young as you be as utterly cynical as a bitter and twisted old person like me?

I really do not think i will buy another top OS from microsoft.. The only good platform is XP.. I brought Vista Ultimate because i believed it was like choosing XP home and XP Professional.
Hold em poker is great but eventually you get tired of using it. i do think there should be much more development for Ultimate customers. I guess the guys at MS are devoting too much time creating extras for the MS7 platform..
Can someone say why XP to Vista could not have lived up to the hype and delivered developments like from windows 3.1 to windows 95 or from windows 98 to XP???
Argh! And to think I've just spent money on Ultimate to get that. Oh well, I'll have to use bitlocker to make up for the fact, and I did want shadow copy as well.
Thank you anyway, at least I now know it's possible on any other Vista machines I "play" with.
If you can't keep up, stick with reality...
It is exactly like XP Home and Pro. Perhaps the only problem with Home Premium is that it's much more like XP Home+MCE, making it better value than the XP Home. That's not to say Ultimate is a waste of money - given the other versions, I feel it's nicely priced, and if you need the features it offers, then you'll be willing to pay the premium that's always associated with the top line of any product. If you bought it for the Ultimate Extras then that's another matter, but given their past history of paid upgrades, I'm not at all surprised.
That's a different game altogether. It's almost a different platform. XP was almost the merging of 2 product lines. Vista is much more like 95>98 and 2000>XP. Originally it was more like 98>ME, but thankfully after those early days things are much sweeter now.
Vista is more like Win2k - a distinct new platform with radical changes from what had gone on before (new driver model being the most obvious comparable). I suspect Seven will be like XP - an updated version of what's already out there (as XP was to Win2k) - which will also help them avoid the negativity that's involved when you break things to do them better.
XP brought the home users on-board to the Win2k platform though - that's true.

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
