Home premium would be a bad idea if you want to join the comp to domain. And for bluetooth, you can use to connect many small or wireless devices like mobile, mouse, keyboard, etc. I would also reccomend you to buy the 802.11g adapter rather than going for 802.11n adapter.

i second that cause home premium can be used for networking like windows xp. Also N cards has more range so it dosent means that if it is not used widely so you should not buy it.
