Microsoft plans new Windows products

 FEB. 27 12:39 A.M. ET The most common consumer version of Microsoft Corp.'s
new Windows operating system will include tools for things like recording and
watching television, along with other functions aimed at using the PC for
entertainment purposes.

Windows Vista Home Premium, due out in the second half of this year, will
effectively bake in functions that were previously found in the "Media Center"
version of Windows, Microsoft said.

It's one of six versions of Windows Vista the company plans to release. They
include a more basic consumer version and another, called Ultimate, that is
geared toward home users who also want to work from the family den.

Microsoft also will offer two versions of Vista for business users, a basic
version and an enterprise option that is aimed at big operations.
The company also plans to offer a scaled-down, "Starter" version of Vista for
developing countries.

Microsoft offers six versions of Windows XP, the most recent version of its
operating system. But Barry Goffe, Microsoft's director of Windows client
product management, said those systems are designed more around what type of
hardware a person is using -- say, a Media Center PC or a handheld Tablet PC --
while these versions are aimed more at what a person wants to do with the
computer.

"We don't want customers to be forced into buying something that isn't going to
meet all their needs," Goffe said.
