--- Quote from: noob ---i bet its like xp home and pro. theres a file in xp that says what windows adons cant be installed. all you did was open it and add an entry saying that XXX package could be installed and then install it. it bet it will be the same. get the home basic, edit this file and just run the updates from the enterprose edition and bingo, the basic version, working as well as the nterprise.

If that's true, then Microsoft really are crooked.  Selling the same product in 7 different packages is just about as bad as a marketing company can get.  It would also mean that Microsoft is still up to their awful tricks, obscuring something that should be secured, and building something that should have been designed.

noob:
the thing is they could do that and just say that the basic version doesnt officially support the features so they stopped them being installed "For a troube free, friently experiance". no one will get the source code, not given by M$ anyway, so they can say what they want.

Jenda:
Yeah right. That does sound very Microsoftish.

I use "OSes" phonetically: oh-sizz. And its still better than "OS's" - that can get confusing ("many OS's" or "the OS's benefits") - or OSs which can easily get confused with OSS.

Aloone_Jonez:
That's a point the 7 differant versions of Windows won't be separate operating systems, they'll be differant versions of the same operating system.

Depends how you look at it, are FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD different operating systems?
