What is the difference between these two?
I'm trying to choose between these two for a traveling netbook (not my main system), should I really care about the Home Premium? (The price for Home Premium is more than 10% cost of the netbook)

via Wikipedia: - comparison of the windows 7 editions..
- Home Basic("HB") is limited to 8GB of physical RAM on 64-bit systems ( 16GB on Home Premium ("HP"))
- HB does not have in-built DVD decoders
- HB does not have Media Center
- HB is available in Emerging Markets only
- HB can only join HomeGroups, HP can create & join HomeGroups
Edit: I don't think Aero makes much sense on a netbook anyway.
Just get Home Basic, you don't need Aero or >8 GB RAM, and you can download alternatives to all of the software it doesn't include.
