Microsoft Releases Windows 7 Versions

      by Wyatt Walter

Microsoft has released the SKUs for its new operating system and there are going to be six editions of Windows 7:

Windows Starter
Windows Home Basic
Windows Home Premium
Windows Professional
Windows Enterprise
Windows Ultimate

Windows Home Basic is only available to consumers in emerging markets, so it’s not really an option for most consumers. Basically, the difference between the Vista editions and Windows 7 editions is that Business was renamed to Professional. Microsoft is saying that the upgrade path from Vista should be very smooth and should not require reinstallation of applications or drivers. They are not, however, offering an upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7.
