Microsoft's next desktop operating system may come in a record-breaking seven flavors, a Windows enthusiast Web site says.

Vista's versions will be divided into two broad categories -- Home and Business -- which essentially correspond to the "Home" and "Pro" divisions within Windows XP.

The Home side will include Vista Starter Edition, Vista Home Basic Edition, and Vista Home Premium Edition. The Business branch, meanwhile, will contain Vista Professional Edition, Vista Small Business Edition, Vista Enterprise Edition, and Vista Ultimate Edition.

I think its OK, and I get one if it comes out. Do you think that if somebody helps Microsoft with sending reports of errors and problems, than they will give you a Beta what is legal and OK?
