Microsoft Planning To Sell Three Types Of Windows 8

Windows 8 Desktop

Microsoft's next operating system (Windows 8) will only have 3 versions available to purchase compared to the 6 versions available with Windows 7.

Those with an Intel machine will be able to purchase either of two versions: Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro and those with ARM chips, which are mostly used in tablets can purchase the Windows RT version.

Microsoft has chosen to offer less versions as they believe it will be easier for us in choosing the right version.

The Windows RT version is an attempt from Microsoft to provide Windows 8 on not only your PC but on Smartphones and tablets. Windows RT will sit alongside Apple's iOS and Google's Android Operating Systems.
