Microsoft Vista: Bill's way of confusing ppl...

Remember when Windows XP first came out, everyone needed to spend like a few wks looking around to see what version of XP should they use? Whether to use XP Home and XP Pro?

Well, and comes Vista:



And Bill will continue the confusing game. The official version list has 5 item in it:

Vista Starter -- Streamlined version meant for low-powered PCs in developing nations.

Vista Home Basic -- For those content to browse the web, use email, and create and edit basic documents from their PC. Includes destop search and security tools.

Vista Home Premium -- Includes everything in Basic but also includes the Aero graphical interface, Media Center functionality, and ability to connect to Xbox 360. The version most of us will own at home.

Vista Business -- The basic version for companies of all sizes with tools to help organizations manage their PCs.

Vista Enterprise -- Includes everything in the basic business version with improved encryption and BitLocker system to keep data from being read on a stolen computer.

Vista Ultimate -- All the features of Home and Business in one.

And in addition to those, Microsoft will have to release some version for Europe without the media player attached to it...so, it's gonna be a total of something like 8 versions of Vista that will be launched!
