    I just got the email for the RC version. I was wondering which version is like the Vista Ultimate/ XP Pro version in terms of which I should DL.

    These are the 3 options I was given:

    - Developers
    - IT Pros/Microsoft Partners
    - Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers

    Is developers the crem de la crem and Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers like the Home Basic.

    Can anyone give me insight to each version before I start DL them. Thanks!

    There is really only 1 version. I would go with the Tech/Consumer. Either way it will be Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Unless you are a developer, IT pro, or MS partner, you will be unable to download from those sites anyway. All of the downloads are of the same version (ultimate), as mentioned above. They are just different download portals.
