This article has a link to a pdf
http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/04/04/dell_vista_pc_basic.pdf

Here is the quote from the article (note the last line)

Home Basic lacks the media center, and funky Aero interface with flip 3D
and thumbnails, and was described in one underwhelming Dell product spec
(pdf) as: "Great for booting the operating system without running
applications or games."

VISTA is just a secret codeword that Microsoft thought up which
actually stands for: Viruses, Intruders, Spy-ware, Trojans & Ad-ware
