Comparable to Windows XP Home Edition.

  • No Aero User Interface

Windows Vista Home Basic Edition is just that - Basic. As every enthusist knows, Windows XP Home Editon is highly inferior to Windows XP Professional Edition, simply because so many needed features (Such as File Permissions) are unavailable.

This version is aimed at Windows XP Home Edition and Windows 98/ME upgraders, and as such, should be avoided.
