Looks like we'll have

  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8 Pro
  • Windows RT (for ARM tablets)

It's nice they've simplified the naming and number of versions. Apparently it was a bit of a PITA for some to figure out whether they wanted the Home Basic, Premium, Pro, or Ultimate version of Windows 7.

Real snappy namers there at MS.   At least they didn't slap "Live" all over it.  ;D
