Default Vista's six versions finalised

Home, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate... and then some more for good measure

Quote:
Although it is still working to finish the code for Windows Vista, Microsoft has reached a decision on which versions of the operating system to offer.

Microsoft has settled on six versions, including an Ultimate edition that will combine the best of the company's corporate and consumer features. The company is aiming to have all of the versions ready for launch in the second half of this year.

"We're really trying to make sure we have the right set of offerings for different customers," said Barry Goffe, a director in Microsoft's Windows client unit.

Consumers will also be able to buy either Vista Home Basic or Vista Home Premium, in addition to the Ultimate edition, while businesses will be able to choose Vista Business or, if they have a volume licensing deal, they can opt for a higher-end Vista Enterprise edition. Microsoft also plans a Vista Starter edition that will be sold only on new PCs in emerging markets.
Some big decisions from Microsoft, shame they don't put as much effort into providing us with decent software. It's an interesting read if your looking for info on the next generation of Windows. Click here yo read more.

Now, we just need a set of corresponding prices. They've hinted at similar pricing levels as XP versions. I imagine they'll announce the pricing fairly soon.

Oh great, all that means is:
crap, crap + 1, crap +2, crap + 3, crap +4, and really, really, good OS.

I wonder which will cost the most...
