Which Windows Vista Will You Get?

http://www.hiptechblog.com/2006/02/20/its-...f-windows-vista

You only have eight to choose from: Windows Starter 2007, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Basic N, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Business N, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate.

I pity those who end up with Windows Starter 2007:Actually that bolded part kind of sounds like windows now.

i think im going to spring for the linux version

it seems all microsoft can do now-a-days is put a fancy resource hogging gui to cover up and make their crappy os appealing =\

There are so many names! Windows XP only has 3, but now they come up with so many! I'll choose the Home one probably.

id have to say



well one i have vist beta right now my dads on the msdn and he got it and is lettin me try it out cause im the adventurous one that dosnt need stability lol.. i reload windows evey couple weeks lol... always doing something to try and make it better and it stoves up so hes like meh here have this and i use it now its not much diffrent from xp... lol its got a nicer apearence but same functionality nothing really worth in it...

its got a kinda mac feel to it in a way just standard install you can pretty much do the same thigns with it but thats all i can tell you atm for its all i no...

Theyre actually limiting the amount of applications running to three? That is the most rediculous thing i've ever heard.

That is the biggest invitation to cracking the OS that i have seen, and no doubt it will be remarkably easy to do. If anyone pays for that piece of crap, they deserve to have their computers blown up.

I'd probably stick with Windows XP, but Microsoft will pull the plug on support and new software will supposedly be made for Vista only. Having 8 different versions of Windows is going just a little bit overboard really, as for most there was an obvious choice of either home or professional, but now it has just got ridiculous. Also, is there any indication of price yet?

That is EXTREMELY limited. Three applications:
Internet Explorer
Itunes (music)
Notepad for taking notes.
These are all very light applications, easy on the computer, and yet they would still be restricted. Still, I want to finally see Windows Vista, as they have kept pushing it back. Taking a look at the new Internet Explorer you can expect some changes in appearence and function, but will it just be a copy of the features found in pre-existing applications (mac os, linux) or something better?

After seeing all of this I am not going to get a single version of Windows Vista. It seems that Microsoft is trying harder and harder to make a lot more money off of a single operating system. With Windows XP having two editions that is fine but seven is getting way too greedy. I am going to stick with XP or switch to a different OS unless this is a rumor.

There's a light version of Windows XP in Asian countries and I believe it has the limit of running 3 applications simultaneously. It also has a limit on the display resolution. It's cheaper than XP Home and was designed to prevent software piracy which is high in those areas.

When I buy Vista (which won't be untill at least one year after it has been released) I will probably buy Home Premium. Ultimate will have loads of features I'll never use, and it would be pointless for me to waste my money on it.

At first i thought it was weird having different versions of the new Windows Vista or are they going to change the name again? lol. I'm proabbly gonna go with the basic one. The ones that are like installed on all manufactured computers and i bet it will be the basic one. duhhh... obviously. lol I can't imagine having only three windows open. HOw can i be able to multitask when i can only tri-task stuff. That sucks..
