Windows 8 Will Come in Four Versions

Finally! After years of confusing consumers with multiple, slightly different versions of the same operating system, Microsoft announced today that Windows 8 will come in only four versions: One for home use, one for business, one for devices running ARM chips, and one for large enterprises who buy in bulk.

For most people buying an operating system for a traditional desktop or laptop, the choice will be between just two versions. The version called simply “Windows 8” is designed for home users. “Windows 8 Pro” is for business users and includes features for encrypting a file system, virtualization, and domain management.

“Windows RT” is the new name for what had been called Windows on ARM. You won’t be able to purchase it on its own; It’ll come preinstalled on PCs and tablets that run ARM processors. Windows RT won’t be able to run traditional X86/64 desktop software. Instead, it’ll run touch-oriented apps based on Windows Runtime (or WinRT), Microsoft’s programming model for mobile apps. Apps for the touch-oriented Metro interface are built using Windows Runtime.

Windows RT will come with special touch-oriented versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
