in more detail in Chapter 4, “Configuring and Troubleshooting Internet Access.”

Chapter 1: Case Scenario Answers

Case Scenario 1: Recommending Windows Vista Editions

1. Windows Vista Home Basic. If home users do not require multimedia functionality,

Aero, or Tablet PC functionality, Windows Vista Home Basic will meet their needs well.

2. Windows Vista Home Premium. If home users need Tablet PC functionality but do not

need to connect to an Active Directory domain, the Home Premium SKU is most

appropriate.

3. Windows Vista Ultimate is the only version of Windows Vista that provides Media Cen-

ter functionality with the ability to join with Active Directory domain environments.
