Windows 8 registry shows nine separate flavors to choose from

Windows 8 registry confirms Professional Plus version, nine retail flavors to choose from

With each subsequent release of Windows we’re left bracing for what will surely be another overwhelming assortment of retail packaging options. With Windows 7 there was a dizzying 6 SKUs to choose from and we’re sorry to say that, at least for now, there are even more coming with Windows 8. As noted by windows 8 beta the registry contains the keys for all current versions of the OS and, with a quick trip to Regedit we were able to verify with the screenshot above. That boils down to the following list:

  • Windows 8 Starter
  • Windows 8 Home Basic
  • Windows 8 Home Premium
  • Windows 8 Professional
  • Windows 8 Professional Plus
  • Windows 8 Enterprise
  • Windows 8 Enterprise Eval
  • Windows 8 Ultimate
  • Windows 8 ARM edition

We will of course point out that this is from the Consumer Preview, so not necessarily a final tally, and the Enterprise Eval version is of course just for trials, but it’s interesting to note the addition of Professional Plus. Office 2010 Pro Plus adds in extra integration with Sharepoint and Office Communications Server, leaving us to wonder if this flavor of Windows 8 won’t offer some similar collaborative tools. And then there’s just that one, lonely ARM edition, which could leave non-x86 hardware buyers out of the cross-shopping fun altogether.

Update: As Jack Schofield points out, you couldn’t actually choose from all those Windows 7 SKUs, there were only three boxed products available in the US. It remains to be seen how many of these Windows 8 variants will appear at retail here.

[Thanks, Sagar]

Newark mayor: NYPD misled city on Muslim spying

Posted on March 3, 2012 by | Permalink 0

Newark, N.J. (AP) ? Newark Mayor Cory Booker and his top police official say the city was misled by the New York Police Department and never would have authorized such wholesale spying on Muslims if they had known about it.

Booker, a rising star in the Democratic Party, says he was offended to read a 2007 NYPD report that catalogued all his city’s mosques and Muslim businesses. Police Director Samuel DeMaio said the NYPD simply asked local police to show them around the city. He says Newark officers had no idea it was part of the NYPD’s effort to build databases on where Muslims eat, work, shop and pray.

DeMaio says it’s not activity Newark would ever do and he called it troubling.

Developing Your Small business via PR Social Media | Social Media …

Posted on March 3, 2012 by | Permalink 0

In BP?s defense, part of their investment for image improvement did go into some social media. According to Reuters news service, BP bought some ads and top search results on Google. The Search Engine Marketing ads were set to intercept people who might run into negativity about the BP brand. This was BP exercising pure damage control.

So what can other businesses come away with from BP?s PR blunders? The first thing most businesses should do, if they haven?t already, is communicate with the public through all the traditional and non-traditional outlets such as television and print and social media sites and services. BP?s handling of this oil spill could have had a complete different outcome in terms of Public Relations had they simply taken advantage of the social media tools available to them.
