Hi all,

Im trying to find specific info on whether you can share folders with vista basic. looking round at the MS vista site the compare products doesnt really give me the specifics, just all the lovely marketing fluff.

I am not sure mate but it could be the same as XP home where you can't do certain things.

 

Yes looking at the website it says that you can do stuff with photos and wotnot so im assuming that you might be able to share files in one way or another, its a shame technet direct doesnt give you access to all the versions of vista so you can find out what its all about first hand.

 

yes you can share folders, but you wont be able to join a domain
this might be useful also

Thats great thanks for that, someone i know wants to buy a laptop but it only comes with vista basic, and she wanted to know if she could share files with her vista business pc.

cheers again

 

You can share folders and printers.
