.. which in turn is also based/copied off the work done at parc xerox who came up with the WIMP model. (Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointer)
IIRC the Apple lisa was the first to make it publicly available in the form of a "home" computer but in no way invented the concept. But that was along time ago and many computer companies came along and innovated since that time.

Looks like Microsoft are keeping things nice and simple for Vista purchasers by providing
SEVEN confusingly different versions to choose from:
Windows Vista Starter Edition
Windows Vista Home Basic Edition
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
Windows Vista Small Business Edition
Windows Vista Professional Edition
Windows Vista Enterprise Edition
How many average punters are gonna know which version they should be running, even after digesting all the
product specs?
Also, Microsoft have just unveiled their latest copycat feature for Vista -
Microsoft Gadgets. Which are basically Mac OS X
Dashboard Widgets or
Konfabulator Widgets in all but name.

Or sysmetrix or any one of a hundred different bars that all report back on similar things that allow adding of drive space, email indicators, weather information, built in player buttons, cloks, email readers, virtual desktops, the list goes on.. They've been around for along time.
If you're going to suggest they're purely copying, why not just show apple invented in the first place.. Or did they mearly bundle someone elses shareware idea as well.
To be honest, I'll probably still use sysmetrix.

Why the need for so many editions, surely home or professional is enough?

Pros:
- More attractive UI
- Virtual Folders for better organisation of files
- Faster, more accurate search facilities
- Integrated third party plug-ins for better customisation and usability
- Better multi-tasking capability, including previews of running apps on the taskbar
- More stable than XP and better error logging and recovery when things do go wrong.
Cons:
- You need a pretty decent PC to get the most from it
- Too many different versions. If you want the full bells and whistles version, it 'aint gonna be cheap!
- It currently takes bloody ages to install!
That's what I've found with the various beta versions I've been testing so far, It's pretty close to the release version now but there's still lots of other goodies that aren't working properly yet.

I like the speed it has on startup, and also the way that the new file manager works, in the case that you get 3d icons for the folder preview:
and also browsing with the alt tab:
as well as the speed of searching, and the new programs, ie 7.
