Microsoft’s new Windows Vista operating system will be available in three versions for consumers. Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, and Windows Vista Ultimate will be available in the second half of 2006, reports Microsoft. There will also be Business and Enterprise versions for the corporate world. The company has not yet establishing pricing. All versions will work with either a 64 or 32 bit processor.

The Home Basic version is intended for home users with simple computer needs. Home Premium is oriented toward users with mobile computers. Among its features is the new Aero interface, which is intended to simplify the administration of personal programs and data. The operating system also enables content to be entered or functions to be selected using either a digital pen or fingertip. Windows Vista Ultimate expands the Premium functions through numerous business applications. The three private versions and Windows Vista Business will be available in stores as standalone software packages or pre-installed on new PCs.

Anyway, I think that it will end with everyone using the corporate version without activation and similar security “issues”
