I think I am barely agree with the editionsthey will release, but at leastthey should fusionate the Started edition with the Home Basic edition, or the Home Basic with the Home Premium, becouse is very confussing, there's one over. And why the started edition has such limitations, I thought the emblem was "Windows vs Walls" Please keep listen at us and remove the Home Basic edition, I really understand the others editions and the decision of just focus on two of them is very clever, but Home Basic is just dumb and this make Home Premium more confussing (instead just Home). I mean, two editions with extremely limitations... bad idea

The average consumer will only see two SKUs available at retail - Home Premium and Professional. Ultimate/Enterprise will have limited availability.Home Basic/Starter Edition is for emergering markets with low-end PCs and thus will not be sold at retail or offered when you by a Dell etc, so you will not see it.Enterprise/Ultimate are the same thing, the only difference is Enterprise will be through Volume Licensing.XP has 3 SKUs available at retail, Vista had 4, Windows 7 has 2.

If you are using windows now, more then likely you will never see or have access to Starter or Basic.

I know that, but anyway, having 2 editions with limitations is very annoying, and without the Home Basic the Home Premium would name just Home, more simple.And the limitation of Started is really dumb, the Home Basic should be Started, cuz the current Started is nothing comparable with the real Windows-7
