Comparing Windows 7 Editions (Versions)
Comparing Windows 7 Editions
Primary Editions (2)
If you are in a hurry, or want a starting point then just consider two editions of Windows 7.
- Home Premium
- Professional
Please note a new term: SKU (Stock keeping unit), really it means Edition.
Six Editions of Windows 7
- Starter (Only available if pre-installed by an OEM)
- Home Basic (Only in emerging markets)
- Home Premium (Media Center)
- Professional (Windows Vista Business equivalent)
- Enterprise (Microsoft Software Assurance customers)
- Ultimate (Those who want it all)
In the above list, each successive number builds on features of the previous edition or SKU. This is an improvement over Vista where the inclusion of the Media Center was confusing.
Minimum requirements for Windows 7 are the same, or slightly less than with Vista; this is the first time a new Microsoft operating system has not required more memory or CPU power.
'E' numbers
In Europe you may well see Windows
7E, where 'E' means an edition without IE 8 built-in. This is due to
anti-competition wrangling. If you like IE 8 then simply download from
Microsoft's site and then install the correct version for your hardware.

Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset v10
The Engineer's Toolset v10 provides a comprehensive console of utilities for troubleshooting computer problems. Guy says it helps me monitor what's occurring on the network, and the tools teach me more about how the system itself operates.
There are so many good gadgets, it's like having free rein of a sweetshop. Thankfully the utilities are displayed logically: monitoring, discovery, diagnostic, and Cisco tools. Download your copy of the Engineer's Toolset v 10
