So, as part of the research for Windows 7 Inside Out , I did the work myself. I installed copies of each Windows 7 edition from the Release Candidate build code on a single machine, resulting in a five-way multiboot system. Then I tallied up which features were in each edition, trying out each one to see if I could identify unexpected behavior. I was surprised to read that, because I had originally intended this screen shot to be an illustration showing that I had five operating systems installed on a single system on a single drive, in fact.
I didn't realize that people would be interested in the numbers. So, dear readers, I went back and made those partitions identical in size and reshot the screen and uploaded it here and added this update. I installed a few utility applications in different partitions. For example, the Starter partition has Windows Live Essentials installed.
None of the installed programs were large, but they do affect the numbers slightly. If you're wondering why Ultimate is using about 3 GB more disk space than Home Premium, there's a simple answer.
The Ultimate install is the original one for this system. Because it's an older installation it has many more automatic restore points saved. The newer Home Premium install has about MB of volume shadow restore point space in use.
The Ultimate install has 3. The difference between those two values, 2. And no, I'm not going to reshoot this screen again! Disk space was a constant.
For bit editions, the disk footprint is around 11 GB; for bit editions, disk space used is about 13 GB. Actual usage for you will depend on the amount of RAM installed which dictates swap file size and whether you've hibernated the machine and thus created a hibernation file, which will be the size of available RAM. The fact that all editions install all bits is what makes the Anytime Upgrade feature work so well.
Hope that clarifies. When I did this exercise for Windows Vista more than three years ago, I created tables to highlight the differences between editions. This time around, I decided that producing a monster feature table is the wrong way to present this information.
I start with a master list of features common to all editions, followed by high-level feature lists that describe the unique features added with each upgrade level.
With Windows 7, Microsoft has actually put together a basic feature set that makes sense across the board with a consistent upgrade strategy to move between versions based on your requirements and your budget.
Every edition of Windows 7 contains all features of the previous edition, eliminating artificial divisions between consumer and business features. That makes the Anytime Upgrade strategy very clean and easy. One caution in reading this post: Microsoft has already made at least one major change from the Windows 7 RC, dropping the three-app limit from Windows Starter.
