22. Windows 7 Home PremiumThe follow-up to Vista Home Premium. It should be the most popular version sold in the USA and the one most home users will end up with.

23. Windows 7 ProfessionalThis version replaces Vista Business. The name clearly recalls XP Professional and it will have business features that Home Premium doesn’t.Windows 7 UltimateUltimate is unchanged–it’s for home buyers who want all the features available and don’t mind spending extra for them. A big feature is BitLocker drive encryption.Windows 7 EnterpriseThis basically is the same as Ultimate, but it is for high volume licenses.

24. Windows 7 Starter EditionA crippled version that can only run three programs at once (open programs, not background ones). Available worldwide, but only preinstalled. This is the version you’ll probably be seeing on netbooks. No Aero.

25. Windows 7 Home BasicSort of like Home Premium but without Aero. It’s only available in emerging markets.Versions
