Windows Vista has a few high-end features such as shadow copies and networking enhancements that Home doesn't have.
because vista home basic only has the basic theme not the aero one
No, it is compatiable with vista home premium, I have had it.
PowerPoint is part of Microsoft Office, which you have to pay for, so it is separate from Vista or XP or any other operating system. Basic Windows Vista is rubbish anyway and you shouldn't get it, if you want Vista make sure you get at least Home Premium edition or you're just wasting your money. If you just want PowerPoint, you can either buy Microsoft Office (availably in all good computer shops, as well as online shops like Amazon, Play.com, etc), or you can get a similar free alternative called OpenOffice.Org, which has a free version (its all available to download from www.openoffice.org)
Home Basic does not contain aero special effects, but, Premium contains it. Visit www.vistahunt.com for any doubts on Vista.
Yes, windows vista is already pre-loaded on this computer when you receive it. More specifically, Windows Vista Home Premium edition.

System requirements for Windows Movie Maker depends on your video card, level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration, and whether or not you have a previous version already installed.
