[ddots-l] Re: Windows 7 Pricing

Think I have the answer.  Looks like you will have some constraints with regard 
to how much ram and physical processors you can run in a system that has Home 
versions.  E.G, you can run a core duo or, a single quadcore on those versions 
but, you can't run multiple quadcores on them as they don't allow that.  Guess 
it's going to be Professional more likely to be Ultimate for me as if I have 
read this correctly, you can only run up to 16GB of RAM in a 64 bit environment 
where as in Premium, you can run up to 192GB.  More info over on:

Note: you may have to click on the link that says something like image to enter 
the page.  It's worth a read though as it's a fairly comprehensive comparison 
of all of the various flavours of Windows 7.

  What I want to know, is what are the differences between Home, Professional 
and Ultimate.  Especially for DAW users?

  does anyone know.  I haven't been able to find any real clear information on 
the differences in the flavors.

    From what I have read and from hwat i have heard from JFW users, Windos 7 
will be a good option for us.

      Phil,
          Thank you so much for those articles. Although, I'm not outside the 
USA, I like to keep up with these developments. I can't wait to see if Windows 
7 will redeem Vista the way X.P. redeemed M.E. 
          Windows Vista, aka "mojave" "longhorn" et al., has a long and 
checkered past and I have been lucky enough to be able to wait it out and jump 
the gulf from X.P. directly to 7. I hope the wait hasn't been needless; if 7 
bites the dust, I may have to just go back to Amiga Workbench and Fred Fish. 
(Just kidding, but I may go Linux!)
          -Andy

        Worth a read:

        And it looks like Microsoft are having a bit of a spat with European 
regulators which could result in us not being able to purchase a Windows 
upgrade or, we could end up with a version of Windows in Europe that ships 
without Internet Explorer.  If you live in Europe then, you will want to read 
this one:

        Hmm, I wonder how much the OEM version will cost?
