Ehh buying Vista right now is not really a great idea considering Windows 7 is going to be here shortly. If there is a way of doing some sort of upgrade program than go for it. Otherwise XP should do you fine.

You only need home premium x64, ultimate is a complete rip off with no perks over HomePrem.

I disagree, see previous post. I once thought as you did when I was running Home Premium. But after getting Ultimate from the Windows Experience, I wouldn't go back to Home Premium.

If you have XP, you should be able to use it. You don't even need to have XP installed, as far as I've seen, you can just insert the disc when it asks for it.

Since you already have XP...
You can install the upgrade as a full install. Just install it without entering in the product code and it will be installed as a trial. Then install a second time with the install code and do a fresh install.

W7 will be out either the end of this year or q1 of 2010. M$ is pushing for a release @ the end of this year.
Also, this probably doesnt pertain to the matter but vista ult. can also join domains but i know you probably dont have a domain at home, or at least i dont see y u would.
Also, here is the differences straight from M$ themselves.
