Microsoft discusses Windows Vista Premium editions

As I first reported in "The Road to Windows Longhorn 2005" showcase on the SuperSite for Windows a few months ago, Microsoft plans to ship one or more premium editions of Windows Vista--one for home users (think Media Center) and one for businesses (think Tablet PC). These editions would be in addition to those that replace Windows XP Home Edition and XP Professional Edition. This week, Microsoft confirmed that it's working on premium Vista editions and revealed that it will likely ship an Office 12 Premium Edition product as well. The goal, apparently, is to cash in on those people who are willing to pay more to get more, a slight detour from the company's stated policy of providing more value for less.
