Microsoft finalmente ha anunciado los SKUs de su próximo sistema operativo, Windows 7. La gama no fue una sorpresa, pero sin duda nos indica que MS aprendió de sus errores con Vista.

Las gamas completas son las siguientes, pero Microsoft (vía PressPass) centrará la mayor parte de su atención en solo 2 de estas:

Windows 7 Starter Edition (para usuarios de mercados emergentes y netbooks)
Windows 7 Home Basic (solo para clientes de mercados emergentes)
Windows 7 Home Premium (el equivalente principal a «Media Center»)
Windows 7 Professional (la SKU empresarial para usuarios domésticos y licenciatarios no empresariales)
Windows 7 Enterprise (para licenciatarios de volumen)
Windows 7 Ultimate (para consumidores que desean o necesitan funciones empresariales)

MS pondrá su dinero de marketing en 2 versiones: Windows 7 Home Premium para consumidores y Windows 7 Professional para empresas {vía ZDNet}. Las diversas SKUs (unidades de mantenimiento de inventario) representan las variadas demandas de los más de mil millones de clientes de Microsoft en todo el mundo, y por supuesto, eso incluye los precios. Consulte aquí si está interesado en saber qué incluye o no cada versión. Me interesa particularmente la Edición Starter y su restricción artificial que limita a solo 3 programas simultáneos.

Microsoft aún no ha anunciado el precio final, pero creo que no se alejará mucho de los precios de XP/Vista.

How much is the retail price of Windows 7?

i really dont care about all these new operating systems developed by microsoft.. as time passes by, the more bloated the OS gets.

even if windows 7 isnt more bloated unlike vista, i still wont bother trying it out..

i personally believe in the power of linux. all it needs is publicity and support from hardware manufacturers, game developers, and the like…

“Why is it that Microsoft has created another OS? We havenâ€™t fully explore and mastered xp or vista yet.”

I’ll grant Vista, but XP’s been around for over 8 years. What else is there to explore?

I’m pretty curious about windows 7 — I’m anticipating Microsoft has learned… I am happy with my Mac but will consider a win 7 netbook for my wife… What do you think?

Why is it that Microsoft has created another OS? We haven’t fully explore and mastered xp or vista yet.

Then here comes another OS. Thanks for the info yuga, I’m still staying in XP. cheers!

The lower price, the better. :-P

looks like a nice upgrade, but i’m not biting unless the next laptop/netbook i buy comes bundled with it.

according to neowin, there are only 3 Major Flavors: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional and Windows Ultimate/Enterprise. The other 3 you mention will not be available in the US as a stand alone.

Secondly, windows XP users can upgrade to Windows 7 at a lower price but you will need to reinstall windows, sounds good to me.

hmmm… how much would it cost me if i will buy

Windows 7 Ultimate Home Starter Professional Enterprise Edition CD?

Whatever their differences / flavors… sounds like bloated OS to me :P

Hi!

Still looks a lot of SKUs to me. Hopefully the jump from Home Premium to Ultimate won’t matter much unlike in Vista in where you would miss a lot if you do not go Ultimate.

i’ll just wait for amit aghara (of project-os.org) to modd windows 7 and pull out the crap out.. =)

Finally, an MS OS that adjusts to if not reflects the power of the unit running it. Netbook Mania is looking up. :) Yebah!

Thanks for the update!

It is really confusing to have so many types of licensees or version or whatever. It is good then that MS will focus on just 2. also interesting is they have a version for netbooks and emerging markets, is the Phil. considered emerging market ? :)
