Microsoft is expecting to release nine Windows 8 SKUs according to a registry entry in the consumer preview released on Wednesday.
From The Inquirer:
Microsoft will chop Windows 8 into nine SKUs
Microsoft launched its Windows 8 consumer preview with much fanfare at MWC in Barcelona on Wednesday and later claimed that it was downloaded a million times in just 24 hours. With people poking around the operating system, it wasn't long before the chaps at Windows 8 Beta found references to nine Windows 8 SKUs.
According to Microsoft's registry entry there will be two Enterprise editions - one is purely for evaluation - plus Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Professional Plus editions, with Starter and Ultimate editions to top off the x86 offerings. There are no prizes for guessing that there will be an ARM version too, rounding off the set.
