Five. Only large corporations will have access to Enterprise. Three if you count the fact that you won't have access to Starter or Home Basic.

So most of us are going to be dealing with Home Premium, I can't imagine having a use for most of the other features.

Doesn't bother me in the least.

I don't see what people find so complex about this... How can people not grasp the concept? Why are they having nightmares over it?

It's just sensationalist 'journalism'.

If you're in business there is only one option: Enterprise (volume licenses!)
If you have no money there is only one option: the one you get for free (Starter or Basic)
Almost everyone else has also only one option: Home Premium (and it is already installed!)

Only if you spend too much time behind your pc at home do the other options come into play. But then you should be able to figure out if you need the business options or plain everything, shouldn't you? BTW, I'm going for whatever gives me remote desktop and image backups (guessing Pro).

i thought w7 was great, but there are still some hardware issues to work out. for that reason i switched back to windows xp. i'm going to purcahase w7 when it launches though, i really liked how it looked on my comp

Been using Win7 exclusively for the past few months, awesome stuff.

 

[wilpower]

i definitely thought it was alot lighter on my resources than vista

windows 7 is pretty boss. I need to find time to format this computer (running the beta) and upgrade to the rc.

does the rc make any known improvements over the beta? i have the rc but am hesitant to use it because i moved away from the beta

 

[Nonchalance]

There's a way of upgrading from pre-RC to RC with a simple edit. I'm too lazy to pull up links atm

 

[wilpower]

haha its ok thanks for letting me kno ill search for it

 

[NoLimits3D]

I'm using it.

Love it.

I'm running the RC. will33184, it is much better than the beta.. it's overall smoother and more polished, plus it resolved the few hardware compatibility issues I had with the beta.

Not installed it yet though, but plan to give it a go through VMware Fusion...

I hate you and your internet connection

Sidenote: Am loving windows seven. The occasional bug, but really, nothing to write home about. less buggy than XPsp3 or Vista (for me anyway)

^ Sorry, I can not help it.
