All I've ever used has been Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate (same thing for XP, only Professional). Is Windows 7 Home Premium 'good enough' for a gaming box? I'd like to share some stuff to my home network from this computer also: Files, photos, videos.
I'm looking for 'first-hand' experience, not Microsoft charts that give you the mile-long view of differences between Windows 7 Editions. Will Home Premium be 'good enough' for not?

Windows 7 Home Premium is designed for most household uses. I have a 3 machine network at home, one connected to my TV to watch videos, one in my office to surf the web, and another that I take to LAN parties. All of them are running windows Home Premium and are all a part of the same Homegroup. It works great and I am able to move files around quickly and easily. All of my games work and I rarely have any problems.
