Windows 7 to Ship In Six Different Versions
 

Thank god you can still slipstream XP.

True dat BRO

I'm sorry, I'm just GrouchyAdmin Basic. If you want to speak to GrouchyAdmin PRO, you'll need to enter your credit card to unlock the functionality preexisting in GrouchyAdmin Basic, but we're not giving it to you. Nyah, nyah, nyah.

EHeh wouldnt that be WIndows 8 9 10? LOL

god damn... just put out ONE version

dam....what a clusterfuck ..... I am seriously thinking about going back to XP now... I'd switch to Ubuntu or OSX but I have a shitload of custom apps that are only compatible with windows...:Oh crap

With SE, customers will be able to run only three applications at the same time

WTF?

That's just insane.

Fuck that, I am going ubuntu.

dats gangsta..

um, that sounds like obvious bullshit

it actually sounds like something you would find on the onion

and Windows Ultimate? that is a HACKED version of windows, put out by JohNNy, look up "windows ultimate by johnny" in google

I'll stick with Vista. It's not great, but I got used to it.

I have never felt more raped and ripped off then when i went out and bought vista.

They'll have to pry my XP from my cold dead hands.... or stop updating it :(

'7' is getting positive reviews, but I hate that's it's going to look so diferent than XP.

(yeah, I know, I sound like a 60 year old).

Windows Bob 4 life.

been using win7 for a few weeks now, and its the best they have done so far and its beta.

XP works perfect. Why have you downgraded to Vista?

I have to Thank Microsoft a lot for leading me the right direction and make the necessary step : move to a Mac. This will happen in the very first minutes the new iMac comes out. I wasted so much time and energy on PCs I could have learned using all kinds of Linuxes...
I will never look back.
And hopefully after 6-12 months I will be able to forget enough to be unable to resolve annoying issues with all the PCs in my family. They have to find somebody else. And I'll be free! :)

LOL - The first thing I do to my XP install is change it to look like and act like windows classic - does that make me 80 years old????

I can understand a Home and Office version, but DAMN.

Ok first of all there aren't 6 versions for 99.99% of us.

"Windows 7 Starter Edition (for emerging market and netbook users)
Windows 7 Home Basic (for emerging market customers only)"

Um so unless you want to live in Africa or some shit you won't get these.

"Windows 7 Enterprise (for volume licensees)"

Unless you run a company that needs many licenses you won't need this.

So that leaves 3.

same here :upsidedow

Can't wait until they start releasing different versions with different box colors too..

This is what happens when the marketing department gets a foothold on the decision making process.

My :2 cents: (Nothing about poo)

Gonna buck the trend here... I do video editing, I use FTP, I use photoshop, macromedia dreamweaver and fireworks on A DAILY BASIS...

I run Vista Home... I have ZERO ISSUES !

EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, and I am very happy !

I have been using windows since Win 95 (ON A DAILY BASIS)

SO... WHY AM I THE ODD ONE OUT?

looks interesting. do you know anyone who uses it?

i do the same.

I suggest you read my post. There are only 3 REAL versions.

xp pro x64 here and not planning to change...

The same here. The best operating system from m$ based on Windows Server 2003 core.

I think that's bullshit, we dont need 6 or 7 different options to choose, maybe 1 or 2 (if u r poor or rich jeje), but still i think that microsoft are the biggest shit ever done by the human been, also, why new microsofts systems such as vista, every time looks more like ubuntu or linux OS. I think they are learning that all their soft are a big shit that never works properly.

I do, on all my machines, it fucking ROCKS

used for going on a year now, never had a single issue

got a new dell laptop last month and wiped it clean and put Ultimate on there, works better than when dell sent it to me

read the whole thread idiot

I'm shocked M$ hasn't pissed all over it yet and anally raped the guy who made it.

I'l stick with windows xp

I kind of am too...as frequent as he updates it and as popular as it is, I am actually pretty amazed

he must live in iran and have his servers based there or something, haha

I'm running Vista and i have no problems with it whatsoever. It runs smooth as fuck, it's fast, it never crashes...

Frank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost like having 22 different types of MILK. Insane!

I just give my opinion about all, dumb fuck, keep using vista pinhead :321GFY

If it wasn't such a ginormous PITA to install an OS from scratch and tweak it to get it to where you want to, I'd install it.

You fuck the hole in the P on XP don't you? :1orglaugh

Microsoft peaked with Windows XP. They're just being idiots now. An OS that runs only 3 apps? Come on.
WG

I'd prefer just one copy not only for users but as well as people that have to troubleshoot them.

Thank you! You said exactly what I wanted to say.

Also - everyone bitching about the SE edition only running 3 applications or whatever are just idiots.

That article was based on false / poor information.

These SKUs were determined from the Beta 7 Install process -

The thing is, is that these SKU's may all be placeholders.
MS has not yet confirmed what the Windows 7 SKU's will be.

And for all the haters: Distrowatch.com reports it's tracking over 1000+ linux variations, most of which have at least 2 internal distros...

Not being a fanboy, just sayin'

QED.

:thumbsup

windows gree$d

exactly the same here, always run classic. I'm 34 btw :winkwink:
