The problem is that it's home premium, which is probably OK for your
wife or kids, but not for a HWG user. I bought a OEM version of Vista
Home Premium for my new 64 bit build thinking there was little
difference to warrant the additional 70 bucks that Ultimate asked
for. I was wrong. Home premium doesn't have a User configuration in
device manager. You have to fire up an administrator account through
command line. Google apps won't install unless you are logged in as
THE administrator. Home premium won't remember network passwords. I
have been running into lots of little zingers like this in the 8
months I have been running Vista 64 Home Premium. But if you do
install Home Premium I would make sure you immediately create an
administrator account and log in as that. It is not enough to be a
user with administrative privileges.
This time I bought two prepaid Windows 7 PRO and I didn't have to
think about it.
