Well I'm looking at the feature compare on MS site and it looks like from that the home premium is got what I want. Ultimate would have stuff I don't need I think so I'm pretty sure there is no point in spending the extra $80 to get it. I currently have win2k and the only reason I got it was it was the best choice for version at the time I got it. Having been exposed to NTFS as a result I think it is the better file system over FAT32 right?
