You only receive the Basic Version, which will cost around the same as XP does.
Also considering that Vista Basic doesn’t feature the Aero interface, has poor security, limited compatibility, long validation rituals and is resource consuming I would rather stick with XP

Ok, the Professional Edition is a good buy, but basically only for people who do coding and all that stuff.
