There will be SKUs (as with previous Windows versions), but I don't think they'll have anything to do with Metro. I think the combination of Metro Start and the old Windows interface will be constant throughout the Windows 8 SKUs. It's just that on tablets, Metro Start and its store, apps, etc. will be used a lot more frequently.

I think they should have

Home (Most features)
ARM/Tablet/Professional (For any ARM-Based tablets, limited desktop functionality)
Buisness/Enterprise
Ultimate (Option to disable Immersive etc).

Starter was just pointless, Aero basic looks horrible and the wallpaper removal was just stupid. Professional is just pointless too, not that many features between it and Home Premium or Ultimate.

No make it just
Home / Small Buisness able to join a domain
Enterprise (VLK only)

Or let the non Business or higher versions make full use of dual socket systems AKA mac pro.

Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate support two physical processors. Also, Mac Pros are not the only "computers" out there that support multiple physical processors.

There should just be Starter, (3rd world countries), Home Premium, and Professional. Short, sweet and to the point.

More pay-per-use features? Merging Home and Small business does not seem like a good choice. You forgot about the tablets, bro.
