straight to the point!
i think you got the full size image and thumbnail mixed up
Very welldone!!!
Not sure what I feel about Windows 7, kinda seems boring. Vista had the desktop thing going on where if you wanted to go back to the desktop just one click and your there. It’s like I have to read too much stuck to navigate through Windows 7. It’s only been a few hours. I’ll be back..LOL!
Julie: there is a desktop icon; its right beside the date/time. bottom right corner
wow… i wanted the difference bw windows7 professional and ultimate.. now its very clear… well done
thank you for this! Now I know the difference between home premium and ultimate
I found this via a search with Google. I had been to other sites but this one shows the differences very clearly and in a concise manner. Well done! Looks like I need the professional upgrade since I’ll likely need to use the remote desktop host option on the professional version. Could have done with a cost saving though!
Fantastic, Very concise and to the point.
Bill Gates is a jerk still.
This should cost $40
not $180
win7 has the newfolder button.. pretty useful .
thanks for the chart, very straight-forward and simple.
guys, use *nix os and save your money,
ubuntu is the best for n00bs like me, as far as windows app, you can still run it via WINE,
JULIE Windiows 7 is a second edition of Windows Vista which have better mwmory management!
So what ever you have had in windows Vista is the equal but smoother in Windows 7!
That i s the difference!

i very happy , my doubt is finihed . pls send to me such knowledge
Damn. There is absolutely no need to buy more than Home Premium unless you want to create a Windows 7 computer network..
Very useful and simple to know, Great!
deffinately gotta be WINDOWS ULTIMATE for the ultimate user!!! i luv the searching facility, it sure does save me alot of time!
my computer has Windows 7 Home Premium built in however I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Professional a few months ago and i love Windows 7 Professional better than Windows 7 Home Premium it has to do with security and users
What is the real differance in the Windows 7 systems. Why would I buy a larger program what would it give me? Is it something that I would appreciate?
Thank You,
Roy
actually there is differences in the amount of ram each limits to for usage. look around dont get fooled.
Thanks for work done, this list is more detailed than at Microsoft (my “site” link points to MS windows compare page), but there is one important feature mentioned at Microsoft, which is missed here:
“Windows XP mode” (not supported for Premium Edition).
For someone, who has a couple of apps incompatible with Win7, which are still necessary for work, it may make a difference.
If the blog author takes time to update the table, it will add more value to this great article.
Many thanks again!
A really helpful article. Extremely easy to follow – unlike the official Windows site and absolutely no information on the Dell website when you are thinking of buying one of their pc’s with this pre-loaded. Thank you !
windows 7 home, premium and ultimate is the worst operating system in the world. face it windows has always sucked. but every other version of windows – vista especially was okay. microsoft destroyed there already destroyed name when they came out with windows 7. so many internal software glitches within every single version. professional is one of the worst especially when it comes to the new software needed to be ran for smartphones. example – kies. windows doesn’t allow it to happen. not without a lot of work anyways. the ultimate edition is even worse for this. if people want an os that works properly and will actually perform the tasks you need it to do. linux or mac.
just upgraded from home premium to professional on anytime upgrade.it sent product code to my email but the ***** thing installed it before i could type in.it says profesional now BUT HOW THW FUCK CAN I BE SURE PEOPLE,ANYONE PLEASE RESPOND CLEARLY A SURE WAY TO TELL CAUSE AT THIS TIME I THINK IV BEEN BENT OVER!!??
You forgot a major difference in the Windows 7 editions, the amount of RAM it accepts.
32-bit is maxed out at 4GB of RAM for all editions
For 64-bit it’s:
Starter: 8GB
Home Basic: 8GB
Home Premium: 16GB
Professional: 192GB
Enterprise: 192GB
Ultimate: 192GB
