The 6 versions of Windows 7
Kevin Bacon is pissed.

If Microsoft was going to release 6 versions of Windows 7, why not just go for the gold and release like 7 versions? I mean, seriously, just so you can make sure to get your point across. The absurdly over-saturated list includes:
- Windows 7 Starter (limited to three apps concurrently)
- Windows 7 Home Basic (for emerging markets) $200
- Windows 7 Home Premium (adds Aero, Touch, Media Center) $260
- Windows 7 Professional (Remote Desktop host, Mobility Center, Presentation mode) $300
- Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license only, boot from virtual drive, BitLocker)
- Windows 7 Ultimate (limited availability, includes everything) $320
Microsoft says however they will focus on two primary editions of Windows 6.1 (sorry I meant Windows 7): Home Premium and Professional.
This is a complete failure for a company to ever need to release this many versions of one piece of software. This is a slap in the face to consumer requests for single brand name they can identify with. Your great response to free and open source software is to charge between $200-$320 for your operating system? And you seriously think limiting multi-tasking in your most basic version is funny? Microsoft, do you understand not yet understand why I'll just install Puppy Linux for free?
