Windows 7 Product Editions Announced!
When Vista was originally released, one of the biggest complaints levied against it centered around the myriad of product editions available to the consumer. Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate…the choices seemed endless, and confusing, to the customer standing in the PC software isle of their favorite retail store. In addition to this, moving from edition to edition, features were gained AND lost, making for a very confusing time. It was very easy to get lost in exactly what you were getting for your money compared to other editions.
It seems as if Microsoft has learned their lesson, and have recently announced the official W7 product editions. Initially, it will not seem any better when I tell you that W7 features no less than 5 product editions (technically 6, but we’ll get to that later). Vista had 5, W7 has 5…what gives?
To explain how W7 is better in this regard, we must first introduce you to the new product editions. Meet W7 Starter, W7 Home Premium, W7 Professional, W7 Enterprise, and W7 Ultimate.
