Microsoft Announces 6 version of the Windows 7

If you are hoping Microsoft will not offer Windows 7 in many confusing versions such as Vista and follow the only rival Apple released a version of the OS with all features, you seem to be selling disappointed. As previously reported, there are some things that indicate that Windows 7 will be available in several types of variants, and now, Microsoft has announced that all editions of Windows 7 officially: there will be 6 different versions of Windows 7.

Here is a summary:

1. Windows 7 Starter Edition - for netbooks and developing countries, only 3 applications can run simultaneously.
2. Windows 7 Home Basic - also for developing countries.
3. Windows 7 Home Premium - This version gives you Windows Media Center and other features for use at home.
4. Windows 7 Professional - the same with Windows Vista Business, with additional security features.
5. Windows 7 Enterprise - this version will be sold in large quantities for corporate.
6. Windows 7 Ultimate - has many features of the Enterprise version, but will be sold to consumers.

Microsoft probably will pair different prices for each version. One thing that is interesting is addressed to the Starter Edition netbook, although Windows 7 Ultimate beta has been reported to work well on the cheap mini-laptops like the Asus Eee PC. The problem is Microsoft is not possible to ask the computer vendor to pay full price for licensing the operating system that will be sold along with a laptop for $ 300. So companies make a version of Starter Edition at a low price and then packed into a PC with cheaper prices.

Update: Microsoft had previously offered Starter Edition software for consumers in developing countries. But Windows 7 Starter Edition is slightly different because Microsoft also will offer this variant to consumers in developed countries for the first time, but only to the segment of the industry seeking low-cost operating system for netbooks.
