  • Starter. This stripped-down version of Windows 7 is what you’ll probably get preinstalled on a netbook (that is, a lightweight, inexpensive laptop that doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive).
    The Starter edition lacks Aero (the suite of animations, window-manipulation gestures, pop-up taskbar thumbnails, and other eye candy); Windows Media Center; DVD playback; streaming of music and video to or from other computers; the ability to connect a second monitor; XP Mode for accommodating older programs; and a 64-bit edition. The Starter version also doesn’t let you change your desktop picture or your visual design scheme, or switch accounts without logging off.
    Sounds like a lot of missing stuff. But the truth is, none of those things diminish the things you’d want to do on a netbook: emailing, surfing the Web, writing, working with photos, and so on.

    NOTE​

    Perhaps surprisingly, Starter doesn’t actually save you any hard drive space. Every copy of Windows 7 is actually a complete Ultimate edition on the hard drive—but with features turned off. That’s how Microsoft is able to pull off the instant-upgrade feature known as the Anytime Upgrade. Choose its name from the Start menu, pay a few bucks at a Web site, and presto: Your PC has just acquired one of the fancier editions of Windows 7.
  • Home Basic. In the Vista days, the Home Basic edition was the cheapest and most bare-bones edition sold in the U.S. But not anymore. Oh, it’s still the cheapest and most bare-bones—but now it’s sold only in third-world countries.
  • Home ρrémíùm. This is the one you’re most likely to get when you, a normal person, buy a single PC. It’s the mainstream consumer edition.
  • Professional. Has all the features of Home ρrémíùm, but adds Presentation Mode (shuts off anything that might interrupt during PowerPoint slideshows); the ability to join a corporate network; the Encrypting File System (lets you encode certain files or folders for security); XP Mode; and location-aware printing.
    (This was called the Business edition in the Vista days.)

    NOTE​

    In the Vista days, the Home editions offered some features that the corporate editions lacked, and vice versa. Now, each more expensive edition includes all the features of the previous one. No more must corporate drones have to miss out on the joy of Windows Media Center.
  • Enterprise, Ultimate. The same version, just sold different ways. (Enterprise is sold directly to corporations; Ultimate is sold in stores.) Has everything Professional has, plus it can run in multiple languages at once, has even more fancy networking features, can run Unix programs and can use a feature called BitLocker to encrypt your hard drive for total security.
