In case you haven't heard, Windows 7 will ship in six confusingly different versions. Windows Vista was available in these versions: Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate.
They decided to confuse the hell out of the customers and produce six different versions of Windows 7. Some that make no sense to me at all! Here they are:
Windows 7 Starter - This is a new flavor... It is only OEM, there is no Aero interface, and you are only allowed to run three programs at the same time (why?)
Windows 7 Home Basic - Similar to Vista Home Basic, no Aero or Multitouch
Windows 7 Home Premium - Has Aero and Media Center, and Multitouch
Windows 7 Professional - Gives you presentation mode, remote desktop, and domain joining
Windows 7 Enterprise - Gives you DirectAccess and BitLocker
lol only 3 programs at once what a waste, but 6 versions why? All they need is a Basic, Premium and a Ultimate in 32 and 64bit versions, they should just make 64bit though.
AAHHH!!! Windows is so gay with this nonsense.. They need it to be 64-bit only and only have 1 version and that is Ultimate... maybe a second one for business but this is so stupid AHH!!! and they should just call it "Windows 7" then the business one "Windows 7 Business"
"Microsoft will only sell Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional at retail, in a bid to eliminate some of the confusion caused by a plethora of Windows Vista versions."
YES me to to there is no resion to buy any other versions and 32BIT sucks but you do need Two versions way can they not just do what they did with XP A home and a pro version simple and understandable for the consumer way dose Microsoft do these things.

good post... might have to update the article to specify that not all versions will be in stores...
Lol I'd settle for just one shrunk down version that works with everything, we don't need all this crap they pre-install considering at some point down the line we normally get rid of it and never touch it again, or use better programs to do what we want to do. There is really no point to these six different versions. I think there should only be one.
why can't people see that it's windows vista with a new look ? it even has the same features as vista,but it doesn't matter anyway i am going to download it from a torrent like i always do
