Windows 8 will be Called Windows 8 says Microsoft
« on: April 17, 2012, 10:55:40 AM »


Microsoft just told the world what it’s going to call the next version of Windows, and — shocker — the official name will be “Windows 8.” It also revealed how many versions of Windows 8 there will be, and what the company will call them. There are three main editions. At the basic level there’s plain, simple Windows 8, which Microsoft says should include everything most consumers will need for a typical PC.

In Summary, we will have:

        Windows 8, for most consumers.
        Windows 8 Pro, for enthusiasts or businesses.
        Windows RT, which is what you get installed on a Windows tablet.
        Media Pack, an add-on for Windows 8 Pro that turns your machine into a Media Center PC.
        Windows 8 Enterprise, what you want if you’re Pfizer.
        Local-language Windows 8, if you live in China or other “select” markets.

Microsoft says PC customers running Windows 7 will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro, depending on the edition. No pricing or availability dates as of yet.

What do you think of Microsoft's Division?
