Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Home Premium are the two main versions about which the Software maker looks quite keen to talk about, but you shouldn’t think that only few versions are out there, as there are 5 in UK and 6 worldwide. Aside from that there are some nice implications for netbooks as well.

The main changes, which have been made on partners and customers feedback, are that every high-end version of the operating system will get all those features that exist in lower end versions. For instance, you will find all those features of Windows 7 professionals that have been made available in Windows 7 Home Premium.

It wasn’t so in Windows Vista, as Media Center was available in Home Premium, but not in Vista Business.

Though Microsoft looks quite eager to convince us that you can simply choose from Professional and Home Premium, lots of other versions are available as well. Now Home Basic version has replaced Starter Edition in the emerging markets. Starter Edition used to available in such locations traditionally.

However, Starter will be made available quite widely, but it’s still limited to only three open applications and this limitation would cause poor performance of the Windows on some netbook.
