If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
It's bad enough that there are several versions of Windows XP (Home, Professional, Media Center, Tablet, 64-bit, etc...), but it looks like Windows Vista, the next version of Windows, is going to come out of the gate in seven versions: Vista Starter Edition, Vista Home Basic Edition, Vista Home Premium Edition, Vista Ultimate Edition, Vista Small Business Edition, Vista Professional Edition, and Vista Enterprise Edition.
Does anybody else find that a touch confusing? Reading the article just makes it worse. More discussion here.
