Home Premium - Security?

I am currently evaluating Vista Home Premium - have installed it without a key to try for a day or 2 whilst I decide if this is the right version for me. I know Vista Ultimate does what I want but would rather save some $$$ if I can.

According to this:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...981981033.mspx

I shouldn't be able to see the security tab when I right click on a file or folder - the thing is I can as part of my evaluation is the ability to setup security the way I want (as I do in XPO Pro now but can't in XP Home, hence the evaluation).

Anyway, can someone that has been running Home Premium for a while check this out and post back? I'm trying to confirm that you really can set granular use permissions in this flavor of Vista.

Responses much appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Home Premium - Security?

Yes you can view the security tab. And as long as you are logged in as an administrator then you can make changes to the security level on folders/files. Hope this helps in your evaluation.
I believe the biggest advantage of Ultimate over Premium is networking capabilities
