Microsoft Norway claims the following:
Starter – only for Notebooks
Home Basic – only for emerging markets, not available in Europe

The remaining four versions are divided as follows:
Consumer market – Home Premium and Ultimate as the updated version
Business market – Professional and Enterprise as the updated version

They further claim there are no real difference between ultimate and enterprise, only the name.

You said it plain and simple. I did the same thing and now I don’t think I will ever switch back to Windows. Stick with MAC and you can’t go to Linux.

I would go Basic (or Netbook), Premium and Ultimate. That’s because “Premium” and “Professional” both sound good and I don’t think the person on the street could tell which is better from the name. Premium is good but Ultimate is clearly better.

[...] Bun, ce mai am de spus? Daca nu aveti rabdare si sunteti curiosi cam cum arata acest Windows 7, va puteti lua jucaria de aici si sa faceti cate experimente vreti cu calculatorul vostru . Un review destul de subiectiv, avand in vedere ca e scris de Apple, se afla pe theAppleBlog.com. [...]

To me the final lineup of Windows 7 would be just like:
- Windows 7 Netbook edition
- Windows 7 Home edtion
- Windows 7 Proffessional edition

Starter? Come on Microsoft! I sounds like a baby Windows 7! A “Windows 7″ that in fact is Windows 2000 with a new skin! Netbook edition? A hole lot better! Now it sounds like this edition has been optimized for working better on small screens and slow CPU-s.
Home basic? Even if Home premium is…… ok….. Home basic? To me it sounds like a mentally-challenged-optimized-home-premium! If they really want it it could be like Windows Netbook edition plus! Like an upgrade! Home basic? Come on!
Ultimate? Yeah, it’s ultimate. It’s brand-new. What matters is not how new or freshly-redmond-packed is, it matters the power it packs in! They need to make costumers that know nothing about computers figure out what’s the best without asking a buy assistant! To me Proffessional beats Ultimate! Try imaginating a MacBook Ultimate! What do you imagine? Something new, right? But not necesarilly more powerful than the pro. Something like the pro + some bugfixes. We’re triyng to make people understand that ultimate is the best! Not just something new! To me it”s fantastic how PC-s try to copy all the work Apple did in this years. They now have also iSights. They also have multitouch. HP even incorporated a lame hard drive protection system! Lame because it’s an accelorometer, not a sudden motion detector. It detects slower the motion. As Steve said in one WWDC, there may be copies, but nothing is better than the original! Take that, Microsoft!

i think that windows definitely should just be Starter, Premium, Enterprise, and Professional (or Elite), as they say, but it shouldnt be like Mac, (Win7 Win7 Enterprise) because you want to choose how much you pay. Take for instance, Mac costs so much, and I don’t need all of the features. On the PC, i can choose how much complexty i want and how much mooney i wish to spend.

So…
WRONG: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ulitmate
WRONG: Windows 7
RIGHT: Starter, Premium, Elite, Enterprise
