Microsoft confirms the many flavors of Windows 7

Despite what we hoped in thinking that Microsoft may have learned a lesson with the many available versions for Windows Vista, it seems they are determined to make the same mistake with Windows 7. So, just how many versions are we talking about? Six in total, and if you ask me, that is about three or four more than we need. Of course, it may not be all that terrible considering most consumers will only have to choose between Home Premium, Professional and possibly Starter. All-in-all, here are the versions will see and a little glimpse into what each will offer:

  • Windows 7 Starter: Ability to run three concurrent applications, improved taskbar, JumpLists and the ability to join a Home Group.
  • Windows 7 Home Basic: Available only in emerging markets.
  • Windows 7 Home Premium: Aero Glass, advanced windows navigation, handwriting recognition, multi-touch and Windows Media Center.
  • Windows 7 Professional: Ability to join a managed network, advanced network backup and Location Aware Printing.
  • Windows 7 Enterprise: bitLocker, DirectAccess and AppLocker. Limited to bulk business sales.
  • Windows 7 Ultimate: Includes everything from the lower versions.
