    I looks like 3 versions will be available to the masses to purchase, Premium, Professional, ulitimate (limited).

    So even though there are 7 editions available we will generally probably only see 3.

    Yup, this is discussed in another thread at length. If I can remember which one, I'll post the link here.

    One thing I am looking forward is trying out the "booting from virtual hard-disk" feature... I haven't tested that yet, but if it proves handy I might decide to just ditch Vista and VMWare Workstation to just use Windows 7 and this feature...

    Just the thought is giving me goose bumps! Microsoft had better not remove it from the feature list, or else.

    What does "offline folders" mean?

    Most likely it's this same feature that is available in XP. See here also. It basically allows you to synchronize files/folders that may be at another location (most likely a file server) with your computer so that when/if you somehow get disconnected from the network you will still be able to access those files "offline". The main thing here is that it synchronizes w/ the server as u log on and off...keeping ur files up-to-date with the latest data. If u make changes to a file or document while offline, when u re-connect with the network the syncronization process will take place either by u manually synchronizing or when u log on or off the computer. I would like to think that mostly users/workstations in a domain environment would be using/needing this feature mostly. nevertheless it's a good feature to have whether or not ur in a domain environment.
