of Windows 8 but as there were different versions of
Windows XP , Vista
and 7 such as Professional, Home Basic, Ultimate and other, what
versions will
windows 8 will have? Many of my friends have asked this Question and finally I
got
its answer.
Windows
8 will have 3 Different Editions , it is announced by Microsoft.

Versions are -

Windows 7 Pro for enthusiasts and
Professionals ,
Windows RT , for Tablets and
lightweight Ultrabooks .

Brandon
le Blanc, head of communications at Windows, announced the versions on the
official Microsoft blog, and said they have “worked to make it easier for customers to know what edition
will work best for them,” The
Telegraph reports.
In
Windows 8 you can use Touch Screen or a Keyboard n mouse and you can switch
between

Windows
8 RT will be the First Version that will be designed for the Tablets.
The
Basic Version of Windows 8 will be Consumer based and will run in most of the
Computers and Laptops , The Windows 8 Pro will have some extra features such as
File Encryption, Virtualisation od OS and Domain Management, and the Windows RT
