What exactly do you get with Windows 8 Pro? | |

Microsoft has now cleared up at least one mystery about Windows 8 with the announcement that only two versions will be available for conventional desktop and notebook PCs. (The third edition, Windows RT, is only for ARM-powered devices that are still months away from entering the market.) New PCs sold through consumer channels will mostly come with Windows 8. No fancy marketing label, nothing to say it’s a home or consumer edition. It’s a base—perfectly useful for most consumers and small businesses. What’s especially refreshing is that the list of features available in the Pro edition is short and to the point. There’s no need for complex matrixes to explain what’s in each edition (for Vista I needed two separate posts, and for Windows 7 it took me six pages, although the breakdown was more rational than in Vista). | ||

Ok, so....
Windows Media Center only works with the Pro version, which is designed for corporations, and corporations don't really use Windows Media Center. And you have to pay extra for it. WTH ? |

Win 8 - Grandma and Grandpa etc
Win 8 Pro - knowledgeable consumer and SMB markets (Media center add on capable) Win 8 Ent - Small - Medium - Large corps who actually want to make full use of the available tech. Win 8 RT - Purpose built devices that users will demand to use in the enterprise yet lacking enterprise management features. ;) |
