I don't want to be rude but... haven't you try goggling these differences in the first place? There were a lot of sites that explain their differences so you can google them out. Try to be independent instead of relying to others.
Here I help you search google for you HERE

just looking at the meaning of the words used to describe the different versions says a lot to me . Basic,Premium,Ultimate ,what one you need depends on your needs ,if all you are going do is ,a bit of school work and surf the net ,then basic is fine ,if you want to do everything with it then Ultimate would be you choice .
as for the service pack SP1, its the same download for all versions.
also why Vista ,win7 is the way to go now.
and as i sad in one of your other post,and flagstar says above . www.google.com is you friend on the net ,for quick/best answers
