extremetech.com — Article Includes Table of Versions Features. --- There are six main editions of Windows Vista. We're not going to go into the Starter Edition in this article, because there simply isn't that much to say. There is no pricing announced, and you won't find it on store shelves or as an option from major OEMs.

I was rather disappointed to see MSDN shipping Vista Business, I was wanting Ultimate...and thinking that as well. Either that, or give out keys to them all. I mean, what's the point of giving them to professionals to support the product, if there are some versions with even more features?

Perhaps it depends on your subscription level, but we certainly got keys for all of them: Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. Each come with 10 activations, which is plenty for our development machines.

Which version? OS X of course!

Is it me or does Home Premium make Ultimate Premium look stupidly expenisve? I can't see anyone but the 'Burn my wallet' brigade or uber fanboys buying that...And with possessed them to take Volume Shadow Copy (ability to recover previous versions of files either altered or deleted) out of the Home Editions, I'd have thought Home users would have appreciated that sort opf functionality...I don't understand why there has to be so many different versions. Home and Pro was enough of a rip off with XP.

You have other problems if you're still getting the bsod, I haven't seen it on my windows machines in at least 3 years.
