[quote=Microsoft/Tony Prophet]Windows 10 is coming this summer in 190 countries and 111 languages. Today, we are excited to share more details on the Windows 10 Editions.
We designed Windows 10 to deliver a more personal computing experience across a range of devices. An experience optimized for each device type, but familiar to all. Windows 10 will power an incredibly broad range of devices – everything from PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox One, Microsoft HoloLens and Surface Hub. It will also power the world around us, core to devices making up the Internet of Things, everything from elevators to ATMs to heart rate monitors to wearables. No matter which Windows 10 device our customers use, the experience will feel comfortable, and there will be a single, universal Windows Store where they can find, try and buy Universal Windows apps.

As in the past, we will offer different Windows editions that are tailored for various device families and uses. These different editions address specific needs of our various customers, from consumers to small businesses to the largest enterprises.[/quote]
I wish they would have explained the differences instead of that marketing nonsense. Like what's the difference between Mobile and Mobile Enterprise? Why does there need to be two Mobile SKUs? Everyone used iOS and Android just fine without having iOS Enterprise or Android Enterprise.

Most people won't even hear of the latter SKU, but here's how it's broken down:
Mobile: the regular, consumer version of Windows Mobile
Mobile Enterprise: a version of Windows Mobile with most if not all of the enterprise goodies you'd find in a desktop Enterprise SKU
[QUOTE]Windows 10 Education builds on Windows 10 Enterprise, and is designed to meet the needs of schools – staff, administrators, teachers and students. This edition will be available through academic Volume Licensing, and there will be paths for schools and students using Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro devices to upgrade to Windows 10 Education.[/QUOTE]

They don't need too.
Windows Phone Enterprise is sold to businesses directly, not though retail channels, it's Windows Phone with more enterprise management friendly features.
There are Android specific devices too compete in that area too.
I wonder how this is going to work, since it's a free upgrade from 7 and 8.

Windows 7 Home Premium = Windows 10 Home
Anything higher = 10 Enterprise/Pro most likely
W8 retail you could only get pro but my laptop shipped with the basic model, the only thing I really wanted is the ability to use RDP on it so I upgraded with a key I already had
So which one is equivalent to Ultimate edition?
I wonder how the "free" upgrade will work. I have Windows 7 Professional right now, do I automatically get Windows 10 Pro?
