I'm going to be upgrading to Windows 7. Ultimate is $20 more than Pro. The only difference that I would be interested in is BitLocker. Is Bitlocker worth having? Any know problems with it?

    There are plenty of free encryption applications that work just as well as BitLocker. If you feel $20 is worth having it built into the OS, cool. If not, Ultimate is hardly worth the money.

    Pro is hardly worth the money unless you are needing to connect to a domain. Just get home premium.

    Thanks for the advice. After further review I picked up Home Premium.

    Good choice. Slap TrueCrypt on that for full drive encryption and you're at least as secure as Bit Locker would have made you.
