Windows 7 proff VS Windows 7 ultimate (for gaming)

[techead]

hi guys

I did some googling on this, and found loads and loads of tables comparing the two, but nothing actually worthwhile tbh

As a gamer, do I need Windows 7 Ultimate, or will I be able to live with Windows 7 Proff?

Many thanks

As a gamer, you need nothing more than Windows 7 Home premium

unless you want to join a domain network and game at work for that you need professional.

Ultimate adds things like drive encryption and the word "ultimate" in a few places

Exactly. There's pretty much no difference between ultimate and professional, except bitlocker. Get whatever's cheapest between Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate.
