Windows Vista will be released in multiple versions once released. Microsoft decided to make things nice and simple for users who will purchase Vista and color code each release.

This has been the first time Microsoft has released an Operating System with so many different versions, and to add insult to injury, Europeans will also have 2 additional versions that exclude Windows Media Player from being incorporated due to the anti-trust settlement with the EU.

Here is the color code scheme that Microsoft will be introducing, and this will also help Microsoft Technicians distinguish features as well if the customer does not know which version of Vista the customer has installed on their computer.

Color Codings:

Light Green - Home Basic
Dark Green - Home Premium
Blue           - Vista Business
Platinum     - Ultamite
