Ultimate gives you all the bells and whistles.

Home Basic is the lower end.

Vista will not even finish installation without a key, Mark, so it
really is useless to even try.

Actually, it will install without a key now. You just won't be able to
activate, so it will be dead after 14 days.

Actually Marc you may as well wait a week or so for RC1 - I've heard they
are even going to put the disk on magazines - obviously with a key. Also
somebody told me on the activation screen you get an 800 number where a
beautfiul American lady will give you a key!
