The Ultimate edition also has Branch cache optimization technology for easier file access over the wide-area network and also allows direct access to Virtual Hard Disk or the disk image without the interference of the host. Additionally, it helps keep the user connected while travel through phone enabled by Direct Access feature and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure especially designed for network administrators. Although the additional benefits of both Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 have been deemed practically useless by the home users, both these editions are heavily applauded among the IT professionals and network administrators.
Both Professional and Ultimate have been proclaimed for providing access to remote desktops with especially curetted features that make work easier for the host and the client alike.
Additionally the features of Domain Join and Group Policy help level up the work for a tech guy. However, the main difference between these two editions is that Ultimate edition has direct access to files from Virtual Hard Disk and enhanced Virtual Desktop Infrastructure which are missing from Professional edition. The difference between the two editions is also that Ultimate edition provides even more security with Applocker, that blocks software installation access and Bitlocker encryption which is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard AES.
The functions of Branch Cache and Direct Access make the Ultimate edition smoother and more effective which is also a notable difference between the two editions. Although Ultimate edition is somewhat different than Professional with its advanced access facilities and higher level of security, Professional is not any less effective. Both these editions are also facilitated with Dynamic Disk support and Location-Aware printing along with all that is mentioned above to make it even more high-tech.
Skip to content Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate are two editions of the six original Windows 7 versions realized by the Microsoft Windows Operating System.
This feature is particularly useful for laptops, netbooks or other portable devices which move between different networks. Windows will automatically keep track of the different networks and remember which printers are available on each of them. This saves you the trouble of having to reassign the default printer you wish to use, every time you connect to a different network, as windows will switch to the last default printer you used on any particular network.
You even have the option of manually presetting which printer you would like to use on each network.

Ultimately this laptop has achieved everything I would hope for in a laptop for work, while fitting that into a form factor and weight that is remarkable. This smart laptop was enjoyable to use and great to work on — creating content was super simple.
As the Maserati or BMW of laptops, it would fit perfectly in the hands of a professional needing firepower under the hood, sophistication and class on the surface, and gaming prowess sports mode if you will in between.
By that logic, Ultimate is obviously the best and lesser versions are inferior. But is that true? What would you get if you paid extra for Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate? A few weeks ago, I did an exhaustive comparison of the differences between Windows 7 editions.
For the comparison here, I decided to strip the list down to a single, simple table, which represents the entire list of features that are in Professional or Ultimate editions that are not in Home Premium edition with one esoteric exception, which I documetned at the end of the notes page. Note: this chart has been updated since its original publication as described on the next page.
These notes apply to the feature table and introduction on the previous page. The items in the table on the previous page include all features that are available only with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate.
In many cases, similar or identical functionality is available through add-ons or third-party software. However, I have only credited a product with a Yes and the accompanying green shading if the feature is a part of the operating system. Click the image to the right to see the larger version of this table on the previous page.
All editions of Windows 7 will be available in x86 and x64 versions and will ship with dual media. Nice, not likely that anyone will pay extra for this. OS X has a feature called FileVault that allows you to encrypt the entire home folder. For Mac and Windows PCs, there are a variety of third-party add-ons that allow this function. If you use Windows 7 Home Premium or OS X, you must supply your own XP license at extra cost and virtualization software, which may or may not require a paid license.
The Previous Editions feature, which allows you to recover changed or deleted files using automatic System Restore points, is also available in Home Premium edition.
