The six Windows Vista versions

As the launch of Windows Vista is getting nearer, so is the information about its forthcoming editions. I recall blogging last year, that there will be seven editions of Vista, now Microsoft-Watch.com reports that there will be six. No surpise, really.

So far, the editions are going to be (not in any special orde):

• Windows Vista Enterprise
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Ultimate
• Windows Vista Business
• Windows Vista Starter

In addition, there might be some "N" versions for the European markets; these versions ought not to include Windows Media Player. As a side-note, there's also a recent article about Microsoft's so-called "Live" products. I confess I'm a bit confused about them overall, but this article sheds some light into the subject.
