With the many "flavors" of the new Windows 7 Operating System, you may wonder which one is best for yourself or business. Here is a small chart showing the differences between each version. Remember that in most business environments you will most likely want Windows 7 Professional version but you should check with what software you have installed for compatibility. It is also recommended to wait until at least the first major Service Pack is released BEFORE upgrading your PC to Windows 7. This is especially critical in a business environment or on a PC that has important data (including pictures, music, movies).
WH=Windows 7 Home Premium
WP=Windows 7 Professional
