Mayhem Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 you will get only 6 (exclude starter and business) or even 4 if you exclude the N versions now that **** on ultimate about game performace ... wtv? lol its probably a simply tool to kill and restore services on the fly and made the caching exe file when you enter Vista and in the best cases.. it will interact with Nvidia and ATI drivers for disabling some stuff like AA, AF, ... ...

RootWind Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Why the hell do gamers have to pay for a better OS for gaming? Because they know gamers will pay a disproportionate amount of money for slightly better performance.

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted February 21, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2006 It seems MS is going the route of Mac via the OS. I hope its' not the trend.... :wacko: How so? Just curious cause this sounds nothing like the Apple OS model, lol. For one price, you get everything, nothing withheld, every single option included and ability unlocked. It's actually a pretty good deal if you think about it. People complain that Apple updates the OS too often but think about it, with every upgrade you still get the full blown version with every ability available and on top of that, awesome new features that dramatically improve efficiency. I would love to see MS adopt this same strategy, it won't make them as much money, but it is better for the consumer.

ViperSnake Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Remember people, the Vista DVD will contain all of the versions on it. You need only the key appropriate for the version you want to install that version. But it is rather silly to deny users the full features of the OS. It only promotes two things, warez and just sticking to XP. :yes: It seems MS is going the route of Mac via the OS. I hope its' not the trend.... :wacko: Umm, no! Microsoft actually denied that rumor, but it is a good idea though... :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/434919-windows-vista-8-versions-explained/page/3/#findComment-587224557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehlo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Windows Vista Home Basic - This is the true baseline version of Windows Vista; think Windows XP Home Edition. You can expect to find features such as Windows Firewall, Windows Search, Photo Library and etc. And every other edition below will be based on this edition. Good for general consumers or even the kids. I find it very unlikely this version will come without a firewall. Does anyone know which versions of Vista will have a x64 version? How offical is this list? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/434919-windows-vista-8-versions-explained/page/3/#findComment-587224710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LispyGlitter2 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 wow, Starter is totally stupid. right now I have like 9 apps running, and my MOM uses more at once. seriously, how totally useless. Starter is for poor countries to get them PC literate. It's not meant to be an option for your normal pc person. Go read up, there's already Starter editions right now of XP.

I would love to see MS adopt this same strategy, it won't make them as much money, but it is better for the consumer. Yes, explain to me how exactly you customize an install of OS X to remove unwanted features (ie DVD Player, iMovie etc) for mass deployment on government/military computers? Limited and specific feature sets make it easy to deploy on a wide-range of computers without having to manually go back and remove portions that aren't applicable for specific work places. Not everyone is a home user, and having every feature and ability "unlocked" might work for a home user, but not for others.
