Premium do not have any networking capabilities at ALL and asking me to go
for a higher version of Vista.....what a misleading remarks they have made...

You're welcome, Alvin. The Home versions can't join a domain, which

etc. Perhaps that's what the dealer was thinking of.

FYI, here's a chart that shows the capabilities of the Vista versions:
