    the sales kept saying I should "upgrade" to home premium as I am a home user by paying 20pounds more! I refused as the home premium is cheaper he should lower the price but not charging me more, and I chose to have the Business version.

    however, I am a bit worry now, can I play 3D games on it as fast as the home premium version?

    does it affect anything like watching DVD etc?

    btw the only offer I got is free upgrade to 9cells battery, save 10pounds only.

    They should have given you either of those for no extra charge. Vista Business will not affect gaming performance.

    so long as you dont use the specific windows media center or parental controls, business edition has lots of extra features home premy doesnt. Personally i would always get business over home premy.
