The latter has Aero Glass's advanced interface, advanced window navigation, improved media format support, media center and media stream enhancements (including Play To), multi-touch, better handwriting recognition and more.

The XP version of the professional version is back to "Windows 7 Professional", instead of the commercial version under Vista, support for data management functions such as domain join, advanced network backup and encrypted file system, location awareness Printing technology (can automatically select the appropriate printer on the home or office network) and so on.

The last is "Windows 7 Enterprise" (Enterprise Edition) and "Windows 7 Ultimate" (Flagship), with the most complete features: BitLocker, built-in and external drive data protection; AppLocker, lock unauthorized software Run; DirectAccess, seamlessly connect to a Windows Server 2008 R2-based enterprise network; BranchCache, Windows Server 2008 R2 network cache; and more.

Most commercial customers can install the Professional Edition. The preferred choice for large and medium-sized companies and enterprises is naturally Enterprise version.
