Windows 8 versions announced


Windows 8 Versus Windows 7 which one you like

Microsoft has announced a massive simplification of the Windows product line. Windows 8 will be in 2 distinct versions for PC users viz,
1. regular Windows 8 and
2. Windows 8 Pro



The regular version contains everything for a simple user ot the most recommended settings on the other hand , Pro has domain support for business along with Bitlocker encryption, virtualization and management features which is analogous to a Pro user. However these 2 versions remove the confusion from one's mind for which version to choose like those in Windows 7.


Although Windows has already launched its version for the mobile and now it is launching it for tablets(ARM-based devices) as well which will be called as Windows runtime (RT).

Estimated features in each edition:-




Further there will be a non- retail version called Windows 8 Enterprise and it will allow users to create their own secure portable Windows OS on a pen-drive. Other features include
network data caching, virtualization enhancements and app deployment.
