Microsoft is making every attempt to provide an easy and efficient way to move to this new platform. There are five choices of the Windows Vista operating system. Four retail versions either preload on a new PC purchase or one purchased separately; they are: Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, and Windows Vista Ultimate that can be included on a new PC purchase or purchased separately. For the corporate customer that has an Enterprise Licensing Agreement with Microsoft they have the Windows Vista Enterprise edition available to them. This paper lists the machine requirements and features of the different editions of the operation system.
