Possible Windows Vista
Versions

On Monday 13th February Microsoft "accidentally" posted a page on
their corporate website all about the possible versions of their
forthcoming Windows XP replacement - Windows Vista.
|
The page stated:
Windows Starter
2007 (Previously Windows Vista Starter Edition). This version
does not use the Vista branding because it will not include the Aero
graphics display found in the Vista line of products, and will only
ship in a 32-bit version.
Windows Vista Home Basic (and Home Basic N). A simple version
of Windows Vista that is aimed at single PC homes. Windows Vista
Home Basic is the baseline version of Windows Vista, and the version
that all other product editions will build from. Home Basic N is
aimed at the EU and will lack Windows Media Player.
Windows Vista Home Premium. Whole home entertainment and
personal productivity throughout the home and on the go. As a true
superset of Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium Edition will
include everything from Home Basic, as well as Media Center and
Media Center Extender functionality (including Cable Card support).
Windows Vista Business (and Business N) (Previously Windows
Vista Professional Edition). Windows Vista Business is roughly
analogous to XP Pro today. This version is aimed at business
decision makers and IT managers and generalists. Business N is aimed
at the EU and will lack Windows Media Player.
Windows Vista Enterprise. Optimized for the enterprise, this
version will be a true superset of Windows Vista Pro Edition. It
will also include unique features such as Virtual PC, the
multi-language user interface (MUI), and the Secure Startup/full
volume encryption security technologies ("Cornerstone"). There is no
analogous XP version for this product.
Windows Vista Ultimate. The best operating system ever
offered for a personal PC, optimized for the individual. Windows
Vista Ultimate Edition is a superset of both Vista Home Premium and
Vista Business, so it includes all of the features of both of those
product versions, plus other features.
