Windows Although it is still working to finish the code for Windows Vista, Microsoft has reached a decision on which versions of the operating system to offer. Microsoft has settled on six versions, including an Ultimate edition that will combine the best of the company's corporate and consumer features. The company is aiming to have all of the versions ready for launch in the second half of next year.

Six versions?

That's just absurd. I think most people have a hard enough time remembering which Windows is newer, 2000 or XP. This is obviously just another step toward Microsoft's holy grail of "make the user pay for each additional feature" they've been talking up lately.

Just you watch, Windows Update will be a subscription service one day. I guarantee it.
