8 Flavours of Vista

Yeah, 6 out of 8 of them are completely pointless.

Windows Starter 2007 - Vista without Aero, probably meant for developing nations.

Windows Vista Home Basic - Basic Windows Vista for your single PC fam, doesn't sound like much going on here. Analagous to XP Home.

Windows Vista Home Basic N - European version of the same, but without Media Player (because of antitrust rulings against MS in the EU).

Windows Vista Home Premium - This is the one we're all probably gonna own. It's got Media Center functionality, Cable Card support, the whole home-media shebang.

Windows Vista Business - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista.

Windows Vista Business N - Think of it as XP Pro, but Vista, but Euro.

Windows Vista Enterprise - Business version of Vista with numerous enterprise features, like Virtual PC, volume encryption, etc.

Windows Vista Ultimate - Love that name. This one does all of the above (and more); what else do you need to know? It's ultimate Windows..


I'm probably going to wait until Ultimate is availible on the p2p/torrent networks, but this probably means 8 flavours of DRM as well.

I like how you mention, most of us will "own" premium...only way most people I know own any software is on burnt CD's.

Dude...you can't own software man, it's all in your mind. Data was meant to be free, like butterflies and sunshine man... Don't you get it, man? The software owns YOU!

Indeed. Now if only I still had my list of good FTP servers...they all died

Interesting. I've seen early versions of Windows Vista. They had a pilot project at Sheridan.
