One of my friends suggested that I upgrade from vista home premium to ultimate….
I mean all I use it for is school(internet) And gaming…(ocassional)
So what would be the point in spending $140.00 for the upgrade???
Am I wrong?? Is there some big thing Im missing in ultimate that premium doesent have that I have to have????

Well, yes. If you want lots of features that you'll never use but still slow down your computer. (Don't get it).
Seriously, the moving backgrounds can even be replicated with VLC.

Theres really is no point. For the average user Vista Home Premium has all that is needed.

Home Premium does have System Restore. It does not have the "complete PC backup/restore" function (similar to Norton Ghost) that comes with Business/Ultimate. The difference is that complete PC backup/restore makes an image of your entire drive and can bring you back from a complete system failure. System restore can only fix some OS related problems (not a hard drive failure, etc).
All versions of Vista can act as Remote Desktop *clients* (i.e. connecting to other PCs via Remote Desktop). However, you can not connect *to* a Home Premium machine with remote desktop. You need Business or Ultimate to be able to allow incoming Remote Desktop connections.
