Your questions are kind of confusing... why buy Ultimate if you want the
stripped down performance of Business? Why buy Business if you want the
multimedia features of Ultimate?
In terms of performance, I don't think Ultimate taking up "...a lot of
space..." is an issue, unless you're using 20GB hd's. The performance hit,
if any, will most likely come from having more services running in Ultimate,
which of course, could be pared down but then we're back to my original
question: why buy Ultimate if you want the pared down performance of
Business?
It might help to disclose the configuration of the laptops on which you want
to install Vista.
