Apparently there's going to be 3 or 4 different versions of it for netbooks

Besides all the Windows 7 flavors we told you about, Bloomberg is reporting that there won't just be one Windows 7 Netbook Edition, there will "several editions." What the eff.

Let's just say, conservatively, that "several" netbook editions means four of them. (A couple would be two, a few would be 3-4, so several, to us, means at least four.) We already had six on the table: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate. True, the average consumer won't see be a few of these, but if Bloomberg is right, that still means there will be 10 versions of Windows 7 running around. What happened to keeping things simple?

Firstly, four netbook versions is negatively charged speculation. Secondly, they want to know what happened to keeping things simple? Keeping things simple went out the window (haha) when Microsoft operating systems came in use on hundreds of millions of devices of dozens of different classes with wildly differing typical specifications. You don't keep things simple if you have as many users with different needs as Microsoft does for Windows.
