I too think there are way too many editions of Vista. I think at most there should have been 2. It seems like it's just a way to make you pay more by offering all these different editions with only one that has all the functionality you need although I'm sure the other editions would be enough for lots of people. If they want to cut down on piracy they should charge less for there OSes as I think there will always be ways around WGA while Windows is stored on local storage although I'm sure it will get increasingly difficult.
Under the flashy exterior, will Vista really perform that much better than XP. I've already had a few headaches with the final edition and general instability!
I do think it was nice of Microsoft to give away a free version to beta testers though, although it made me feel guilty for not being more active!
