Exclusive: Windows 8 SKU revealed in Consumer preview

78 Replies

We have posted couple of days back that Windows 8 would have only 3 SKU, but the Windows 8 consumer release says something else. According to the registry files in Windows 8 consumer preview, Windows 8 won’t have just the SKU available in Windows 7 but some more as well. The complete lit of SKU available in Windows 8 according to the registry file is-

Windows 8 Enterprise Edition
Windows 8 Enterprise Eval edition
Windows 8 Home Basic Edition
Windows 8 Home Premium edition
Windows 8 ARM edition
Windows 8 Professional edition
Windows 8 Professional Plus edition
Windows 8 Starter edition
Windows 8 Ultimate edition

Here is the screenshot of registry file from Windows 8 consumer preview-

And here is the image of same registry key from Windows 7-

We already knew that Windows 8 ARM would be released, but seeing Windows 8 professional plus in the list was definitely a surprise.

I just uninstalled Win 8. Worked pretty well for the first day or to, then my system started to slow down. On the install only 5 programs were flagged as not Win 8 compatible, by day 3 the list of no go programs grew to 35. The mouse started to Spaatz like crazy. I did the Win 8 repair….DEATH. I’ll wait till new PC’s ship with Win 8 before i try it again. My system is a AMD black 955 with 8 gig of ram, and pretty good video card Ausus mb. Remember BACK UP before you install Win 8. Lucky for me I have back up PC’s.
