WINDOWS 7 VERSIONS 7 College Student Discount Microsoft has severely discounted copies of 7 for college students (with proof of identity) 7 E (European Version) Microsoft plans to remove Explorer from the versions of 7 that it ships in Europe. 7 Basic Which lacks the Aero interface, will be available for sale only in emerging markets and will not legally be available for sale in the U.S., Western Europe, Japan, and other developed countries. 7 This is the successor to Vista, and Microsoft expects it to be the most common edition sold, the standard for virtually all consumer PCs. It includes the Aero interface with its 7 enhancements, plus Media Center, DVD playback support, and multi-touch and handwriting features. 7 This edition drops the Business label used in Vista and goes back to the old XP-era name, presumably to give XP users more comfort in their upgrade decision. Unlike Vista Business, this edition contains all features in the edition, including Media Center. For the extra cost, you get more traditional business features like the ability to join a domain, group policy based management tools, Remote Desktop host capabilities, network-based backup features, and support for the Encrypting file system. 7 / In the retail channel, this edition will be called ; for corporate customers with a Select license agreement, it will be called. In either case, the feature set includes everything in edition plus support for BitLocker whole-drive encryption (and the new BitLocker To Go feature, which adds high-grade encryption to removable media). This edition also includes all supported language packs (those cost extra for other editions) and the capability to boot from a VHD. There are some advantages to moving a whole household over to 7, mainly related to the home network setup and music, media, file and printer sharing.
