I agree with the statement about confusion here, though of course only the future will tell how successful it is. Of particular note to me is that on Amazon, you can now preorder Windows 8 [1]. The options are "Windows 8 Pro", "System Builder 32/64-bit", "System Builder Professional 32/64-bit", and "Windows 8 Pro Pack". So is Pro 32-bit or 64-bit? The "Pro Pack" says it upgrades from "Windows 8" to "Windows 8 Pro" -- where is "Windows 8" available? Thinking that this was just because Amazon hadn't yet gotten the full list of items, I went to the windows site [2], expecting to find the usual matrix of options and features, but found nothing -- just a link to a blog post that talks about pricing scheduling for updates for Windows 8 Pro, with no indication of what the "Pro" means or what the alternatives are. So, yes, confusing. [1] http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000843871 http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000843871 [2] http://windows.microsoft.com http://windows.microsoft.com
