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.

Ok, so you buy a computer and you get the ‘Home Basic” package unless you pay for the premium- which includes an e-mail program.
BRILLIANT!
