Windows Vista Service Pack 1 build 6001.18000 has leaked
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has arrived. Most people will be able to download it via Windows Update as of mid of March, but for the rest who do not want to wait there are two options.

Windows Vista Ultimate Package
Windows Vista Editions
In the multitude of Windows Vista flavors there are some simple directions to choose the right edition for you.
Essentially there are four mainstream editions for retail: Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate.
The fifth one—Enterprise—is only for large companies, which have Microsoft Enterprise Agreement or Microsoft Software Assurance, so it is volume-licensed. It is very similar to Business edition, but contains BitLocker Drive Encryption—a way to encrypt the whole hard drives with a special hardware key and a passphrase.
The editions with letter N (for European Union) are stripped down to exclude Windows Media Player plus Windows Media-related technologies, and Windows Movie Maker.
All editions are presented in 32-bit or x64 versions at choice.
