Although Microsoft has made a point of including strong game and multimedia support with all of its post-Windows 3.1 operating systems through the ever-evolving DirectX multimedia libraries, the company didn’t fully and completely embrace the idea of full home multimedia until it released the Windows XP–based Windows Media Center Edition in 2003. And now, with Windows Vista,
Microsoft is going after virtually every possible computer user in the world, from people in emerging markets (for example, third-world nations) to spoiled consumers, from timid technophobes to business power users. And, most important, Microsoft has now turned its all-seeing eye to dedicated gamers and multimedia enthusiasts.
The company released a number of different Windows Vista editions, each aimed at a different market segment. Windows Vista Starter, which is only available in emerging markets, is a barebones operating system for the simplest computers. Vista Home Basic is a notch above Starter, intended for homes with a single computer and users who don’t need a bevy of fancy features— the kind of people who just want to check their e-mail and do some Web surfing and leave well
enough alone. Home Premium is a more full-bodied consumer edition, with a stronger focus on multimedia and usability. It’s one of several editions to feature the new desktop interface, Aero. A pair of Vista products aimed at various-sized companies includes the Business and Enterprise editions, with features that cater to networked businesspeople.
Then there’s Ultimate. Windows Vista Ultimate is the edition for the true enthusiast, the person who spends hundreds of dollars on single upgrades just to run the latest games. Ultimate edition caters to people who can’t imagine viewing home video without editing it through a PC first. This edition is the one for people who consider the PC not an appliance or a convenience or a luxury, but an essential cornerstone of existence, right up there with food, clothing, and shelter.
