whitepaper Microsoft SKUs Customers With Windows Vista, Office 20072006-06-18 Penton Media
  In Microsoft's understanding of the world, multiple product editions, or what it calls SKUs (for Stock Keeping Units) equate to more revenues. That's why the company's upcoming Windows client and Microsoft Office revisions will feature more product editions than ever before, all aimed at specific markets. On the business side, Microsoft is planning a Vista Business (and Business N for the EU) version that will replace XP Professional, a new Vista Enterprise that will provide a single instance version of Virtual PC and other unique features, and, probably, a Vista Small Business version, also new, that will be the client equivalent of Small Business Server. On the top of the heap is the new Vista Ultimate, which is of course the version everyone will want.
