darkmark327 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Do you see average users getting confused by the fact that there is a Windows 2003? No, of course not. It's not out there next to XP, just like the business versions won't be. 586505707[/snapback] Look through the forums here, there are plenty of people who think they need to use 2003 and then wonder why their stuff doesn't work.

christracy Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 To reiterate the mood of this thread, 7 versions?? :blink: wtf! i mean 3 maybe 4 is enough but 7? i will get the cheapest verision that allows remote desktop for sure the other stuff i will just have to see if its even needed. and an ultimate edition?? i can't wait till microsoft creates a new sku for 'Vista: The Collector's Edition.' :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmax Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I am sure the most pirated version would be Vista Ultimate ;) .... hope we testers get a free link the same way like they did for XP x64 and when MS said the price would start around $99 i am sure they meant it for VISTA Starter edition Ultimate n Pro might be around $200 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme $niper Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Wow... Thats quite a lot of versions. I'm sure most people will be running pirated copies of Ultimate, though we'll have to see what Microsoft will try to do to keep pirates from cracking it. If I had to purchase a version, I'd most likely go with Home Premium, unless of course my campus provides me with a Pro version due to the fact that I'm going into Computer Programming.

mrk Reviews Posted September 10, 2005 Reviews Share Posted September 10, 2005 And no wonder people warez windows... jesus, I eman just to get the gaming side you have to pay for the ultimate edition? Stupid Hojme Premium is aimed at the home sector with kids and profficient home users right, well what made them forget that the average home user with kids and teens will want to have the gaming side?

dt Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Now THAT is confusing. Will PC manufacturers like Dell offer all their machines with Windows "Vista" Home Basic Edition? Which might not even have something like "WIFI AUTO-CONFIG"? They'll probably make you pay a small "premium" for the "Premium" edition (lol) which will probably be the equivalent of Windows XP Home Edition today.. and yet you'll likely have to pay more for the "better" versions if you want more features. And the Starter Edition thing is just crap. Limited to 3 windows or applications?? Um hello that doesnt make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riahc3 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 A lot of the stuff they're adding to it simply won't be available to people who pirate, like the free downloads or "Clubs" or preferred support. Very good move. :yes: 586505697[/snapback] You are kidding right? Remember that whole Windows validation thing for downloads? Pirate copy of XP right here. I didnt even have to download any additional hacks/patches/pirate my XP further. I downloaded everything I wanted with Windows Update saying my PC was legit :sleep: :rolleyes: Yep MS does real good wasting all that money on the battle against pirates. Face it; Pirates will NEVER be stopped. If its made it can be unmade. Not a very SMART move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
