Longhorn Professional and Home? Think again.

Intesting and rather odd details on the Lonhorn OS form Micro$oft are begining to appear. One of these more striking details is the number of versions. Not one, not 2....but 7 different versions.

LINKAGE HERE to CRN.

Quote:


	Among the seven editions, said Thurrott on his site, are a Starter Edition (similar to Windows XP Starter, the edition Microsoft's pitching to developing countries), Home, Premium/Media, Professional, Small Business, Mobility/Tablet PC, and finally, something he dubbed ""ber" Edition. This version, said Thurrott, will be "a new product edition that bridges the consumer and business versions and includes all of the features from the Home, Premium, Pro, Small Business, and Tablet PC Editions (but not Starter Edition)."

From the sound of things, ber will be the most popular among the not so legit comunitees.

Providing that it isn't going to be over $300, which I don't doubt a bit.

Might have to just settle on the Premium/Media edition.
