Microsoft confirmed the multi-version release of Windows 7 to various sources including Gizomodo and Paul Thurrott of Windows Supersite. However, Microsoft has not released any official statement to the public regarding this decision.

The pricing or availability keeps unknown (although some speculate Windows 7 will be available early next year), but here is a breakdown of known information and the differences between the versions of Windows 7.

First off, all users of XP and Vista will be able to upgrade their Operating System license to Windows 7. The catch is the upgrades will have to be a clean installation of Windows 7, that means you’ll have to re-install programs and backup and replace data.

Windows 7 Starter Edition (SE) is mainly aimed at emerging market and netbook users.

Windows 7 Home Basic Edition (HB) is basically the equivalent of Vista’s Media Center edition and will allow the use of unlimited applications at the same time, while bringing further UI enhancements such as live thumbnail previews and ’enhanced visual experience’.

Windows 7 Home Premium (HP) version will bring all the visual goodies of Windows 7 like the Aero Glass UI and the advanced window navigation.

Windows 7 Professional Edition brings along more security and networking features like the Encrypting File System, advanced network backup and joining managed networks with Domain Join.

Lastly, Windows 7 contains Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Whether you’re a home user or a business, the Enterprise and Ultimate editions (probably differentiated by price in the end) will bring a similar set of advanced features like bitLocker data protection for internal and external drives, DirectAccess for corporate networking based on Windows Server 2008 R2 and lock unauthorized software from running with AppLocker.

Some experts guess Microsoft will market aggressively the Home Premium and Professional editions for home users while netbook users should aim for the Starter version. Microsoft also recommends business users to use either the Professional or the Enterprise edition.
