    If I upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Vista Business, will I lose the media capabilities of home premium?  I'm talking about Movie Maker, Media Center, DVD Maker, etc.

    I assume the Business upgrade will allow easy attachemnt to server 2003 networks using ConnectComputer and will get me out of Vista network purgatory.

    There is no direct upgrade path from Vista Home Premium to Vista Business.  A "clean install" of Vista Business would be required.  I would recommend upgrading to Vista Ultimate in order to retain the Vista Home Premium features such as Windows Media Center.

    If you have the money go for ultimate. It should cover all the bells and whistles your looking for and can be updated through anytime update feature.
