Simple and clean.

Last month, Polish website CentrumXP posted several box shots of Windows 7. We weren’t sure if they were just mockups or just very exclusive and early leaks – but it turns out that they were on the money.

On Microsoft’s Store is a preview page for Windows 7. While pricing remains a mystery, it seems that the boxes will look something like this:

What do you think of Microsoft's multiple SKUs of Windows 7? Do you think Microsoft should just sell one consumer version of Windows for one flat price?

Boxes look cool. I see, there is not four diff. color in dat windows symbol!!!
Why?

And, selling one product in flat rate is never gonna happen. Its a business strategy and a lot companies irrespective of domain (s/w, electronics etc.) follow it.

Since Windows 95, every windows release comes with lot of hype, waiting, testing, jokes.

This time, it's not hype. It's like everyone is waiting for "The best OS ever made by MS" to hit shelves. Thanks to MS, they didn't promise too many things and whetever they gave works like a charm.

I hope Windows 7 comes cheap. Unlike Windows Vista, this one is not a totally new OS. Its more of a fixed version of windows vista so its real name should have been Windows 6.1 since Vista is windows 6.

^^ Truly said. I bought vista home premium x64 on nov 2008. I think M$ should release some upgrade plan @ discount rate for users like us.
