MICROSOFT UNVEILS WINDOWS VISTA VERSIONS

Microsoft has revealed the different versions that are going to be available for Windows Vista.
These versions include:

• Business
• Enterprise
• Home Basic
• Home Premium
• Ultimate

As you can see there are a lot of new versions of Windows that are coming out. I'm not sure whether or not they're trying to get consumers confused, however they've clearly defined the lines between the versions.

The "Home Basic" version looks to be a stripped-down version of Windows only built for internet surfing and email and that seems to be the extent of it.

The "Home Premium" is basically a cross between todays WindowsXP Home and WindowsXP Media Center Edition. It's going to give you the power to watch video and even has built-in Tablet PC technology.

The "Ultimat"e edition seems to been the most feature-overloaded version of the bunch. It has everything. All versions are available in 32-bit and 62-bit editions. Windows Vista Starter was also mentioned briefly in the press release though I'm not sure on the difference between Home Basic and Starter as the press release doesn't specifically tell of the differences between the operating systems.
