Who really needs five different versions of Windows Vista? Only the Microsoft marketing team. Dumb move.
For Home:
Windows Vista Home Premium: Goes beyond basic tasks and helps you get more done around the house while more fully enjoying your digital entertainment.
Windows Vista Ultimate: Includes the full set of business, mobility, and home entertainment features for those who use their PCs at work, at home, and on the road.
Windows Vista Home Basic: Increases reliability, security, and ease of use for entry-level computers and basic tasks such as writing e-mail and surfing the Web.For Business:
Windows Vista Enterprise: Adds protection for sensitive data and helps lower IT costs for large global organizations with highly complex IT infrastructures.
Windows Vista Business: Helps people in organizations of all sizes reduce costs, improve security, increase productivity, and stay better connected.
This is what happens when businesses get top heavy and profit hungry. In the end, only technical people will have any understanding of what the differences between these versions are. No one else cares. They just want the operating system to do the stuff they want it to do and they also want it not to crash or slow down for no reason.
Five versions, five new ways to push people to migrate to other operating systems. Stupid. If Microsoft doesn’t adapt and change it will become the next CP/M. You’ve never heard of CP/M have you? I thought not.
