Windows 7 Home Premium came with the new system I just purchased. I'm
wondering if it will provide me with what I need for EXPRESSION WEB and other
EXPRESSION SUITE programs. Will I need to upgrade to the ULTIMATE version in
order to be able to operate these programs effectively? Is there a source
where I can compare the "features" or "abilities" of each of the various
WINDOWS 7 Versions. Thanks.

It's always a good idea to search before you post, this same question was
asked on 11-30 by Walter R.
See the replies to his post.

You will be fine with Win7 & EW. I just updated my 6 mo old Vista
machine with Win7 Home Premium on a new drive, EW runs fine and, as a
bonus, my oldy-moldy FrontPage 2K runs fine too. FP2K didn't get along
well with Vista, it would run fine on a local web and publish "up" but
would not open a "live" web, no problem now.

Look at the Walther R thread a few lines down.
You'll find some more interesting answers.
I just looked. Windows 7 Pro also has the XP-mode.
But test your CPU before/and if counting on XP-mode.

Short answer: Home Premium should work fine for anything you need to do in
Expression Web. If you had Starter, I might be more concerned.

Peace and Grace,

You should be ok with your system. In fact you can download the trial
version and install it on your new system. If you are happy with it,
you can then order the Expression Web or Expression Studio and you just
need to enter the serial number (from the purchased version) to convert
your trial version to full version.

If you are a student then you can buy Windows 7 Professional for $29.99
(yes it is less than $30). the link is here:

Now M$ must be really desperate to get rid of its stock.
