      I wonder if DirectAccess will be limited to the Enterprise version or if they are going to trickle it down to the Pro version this time around.

      I'm sure it will stay in enterprise.

        I'm thinking that as well. Which is unfortunate.

          Microsoft really does not do trickle down. The versions are by features used by different segments. You would not expect AD to trickle down to Home.

            Almost guaranteed.

            Seems unlikely many will buy. even more so since most will likely be BYOD. and no one else pays for a phone OS.

            Exactly. The name really gives it away.

              And then one is an educational version which might just be a licensing thing.

              And then there is a seventh that wasn't on the list, who knows what it might be?

              You missed a paragraph 😛

              There will also be versions of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise for industry devices like ATMs, retail point of sale, handheld terminals and industrial robotics and Windows 10 IoT Core for small footprint, low cost devices like gateways.

              (thanks for the edit of the OP)

                  And as with prior versions of Windows, Active Software Assurance customers in Volume Licensing can upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise as part of their existing Software Assurance benefits.

                  I wonder if this means they are going back to the Pre Windows 8.1 SA changes where the split Enterprise licensing away from Software Assurance?

                    MS will definitely charge for the Enterprise version of mobile, why else have a specific version for this? Granted it might be say $25/device but I'm sure it won't be free.
                    Though it's really hard to say what it will cost considering Windows on devices with screens smaller than (was it 7.9"?) 7.9 inch displays.

                      My guess is that $25 is high, but who knows. I would guess more like $10.

                        You're probably right - either that or it will be part of a MDM solution.

                          InTune isn't cheap.

                            Ah, good thought, InTune Upgrade rights or something.

                              Nope, not even the base level is super cheap. But it does include a bit.

                                I wish they'd just merge pro/enterprise. I get having a home version and a professional version but, I'd like to be able to get enterprise for home without having an open license agreement.

                                Also I wonder if this means windows server 10 will have more than two versions?

                                  They've been providing that. It was called Ultimate, but Ultimate literally meant Enterprise bought without an open agreement.

                                    Nope. It didn't include things like direct access. Only Bitlocker (which is now in pro anyway I believe).

                                      We had material from them that said it was literally just a name change. Hmmm....

                                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions#Windows_7_Ultimate

                                      Wikipedia says that they are the same.

                                        They list it as having been available in Ultimate here...

                                          I thought they were the same. Windows 7 Ultimate definitely includes Direct Access support as I've used it.
