This is exactly that. It's Windows 7 with additional features in each version.I don't see where is matters that much. I don't think they will make the same mistake as they did with Vista when they labeled hardware as Vista ready but only could handle Basic unless they are looking for more work for their legal department.The only people who get up tight about this is people who do more than Internet, email, office work which doesn't make sense.I would like to have two version like XP but there are a lot more features/tool that not everybody needs.We don't seem to get upset about car manufactures having multiple trim packages.

If it is better, than why not make it a service pack to fix the previous swindle(Vista). I ran the beta and I wasn't in awe at all. Just appears they fixed some of the things that were annoying in Vista. Just another swindle on the public. If it is better, than why not make it a service pack to fix the previous swindle(Vista).

That would make 14 versions if so. So do they have seven versions in 32 bit and seven versions in 64 bit? That would make 14 versions if so.

No 'Premium' at the end of Home either. Home for normal users, Pro for businesses/enterprises. Simple. And there's no need for low-end versions of either, if your computer/netbook can't handle it, turn some settings down during install.If anything, I think they should eliminate Ultimate. It's the most annoying/confusing of the bunch. As I said on twitter, I think there should only be two versions: Home and Pro. No ‘Premium’ at the end of Home either.

Personally I think it’s all tailored toward maximising Microsoft’s profits, I have a feeling the Ultimate edition will cost a small fortune, and the only realistically affordable version will be Home Premium.

I forecast on my blog, with some trepidation, that they were going to do this, several months ago.

It’s a stupid idea for them to do so; bearing in mind the catalogue of errors made with Vista. – If a new approach is tried and the product flops it is a logical thing to conclude that if you don’t make any of the same mistakes again: NONE of them, then any future product has less chance of flopping. M$ have a different approach though: rather than doing exactly the same thing in the same way and expecting a different result, they choose to do only some of the things they did before in the same way, expecting a different result. – And that’s what they’ll get: A partial flop rather than a total flop.

I for one will now not be rushing out to buy Windows 7 until someone else has analysed all the versions and let me know what I’ll get for the orice tag they’re asking in each case.

If it had been a choice between Home, Pro, and Business; I’d have gone straight out and bought Pro. – But I know their game and I’m not playing. Someone else can rush in where angels fear to tread. I’ll be watching the results of doing so.

Now if Microsoft would be prepared to give a full online demo of all 6 versions then that would make all the difference…
