Ok folks I've done a bit of searching but can't find the specific answer. My acer revo rl70 arrived this morning and I've come to the conclusion that windows 7 is the most stable platform to use but which version. Home basic, ultimate i.e. obviously I want the OS to be as resource light as possible?

The different Win7 versions are really very similar when i comes to resource use. They just vary in available features.
I would use anything but home premium as this version does not support remote desktop (in case you should ever need it), but other than that you can go with any version you'd like.

A good tip would be to disable all eye-candy such as Aero etc. and take a look at what services that start up automatically. (Run->msconfig) Disable services/programs you KNOW you don't need.

Good luck Smile

You don't need Ultimate unless you really need it in 35+ languages, XP emulation, domain support, etc. Home Premium will do the job just fine.
