Nov 29: Windows Vista

Well, I'm sure most of you will know that Microsoft will be releasing their new fan dangled operating system called Vista. Ooooo!
Well, to make things easier for us consumers it has come out with a master plan, easy to understand plan, they have come out with 5 different versions.
  • Windows Vista Basic
  • Windows Vista Home Premium
  • Windows Vista Business
  • Windows Vista Ultimate
  • Windows Vista Enterprise (you won't be able to get that one)
Yep that was the master plan to make it easier for us consumers to decide. But if your confused they have done a little video so that you can understand the differences between them, well it's for the retailers, like the folks at PCworld.
Watch it here. Yep, we consumers will be darn confused.

In order to simplify the process even more, they, have come up with master plan B, this is those fandangled logos, you know the ones that at the moment say, certified to work with Windows XP? Yep, they have the same for windows Vista, but they have been clever, yep, in that ultimate quest to make sure that they don't confuse us consumers, they have come with not one logo but two! And here they are...

There, I can guess you are even more confused? Well, back to Toms World, they have another video to help explain the difference between the two logos, remember these videos are for the folks at Walmart, PCworld and the likes.
Watch the video here.
Here's what Microsoft explanation.
