Windows 7 SKU line up
Microsoft announces Windows 7 SKU lineup for specific market requirements, with each SKU is a superset of the previous SKU. Sounds confusing? This just means that each higher edition SKU will have every feature lower edition SKUs have. There will be two primary editions of Windows 7: Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. For price-sensitive customers with small notebook PCs, some OEMs will offer Windows 7 Starter, whilst customers in emerging markets, Windows 7 Home Basic will be made available. Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise are targeted for small and mid- to large sized businesses respectively. The complete SKU lineup for Windows 7 is: Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home Basic (in Emerging Markets only), Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate.
