The snippet only listed six versions...? AAARRRGGGHHH! I counted them and then fixed it and then it didn't take!
- Windows 10 Home, which is the most basic PC version.
- Windows 10 Pro, which has touch features and is meant to work on two-in-one devices like laptop/tablet combinations, as well as some additional features to control how software updates get installed — important in the workplace.
- Windows 10 Enterprise,, which will have extra management features. We have some ideas of pricing here, as Microsoft is touting a $7/month Windows 10 Enterprise subscription for businesses that also includes a bunch of juicy, lucrative cloud services.
- Windows 10 Mobile for smartphones.
- Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, which is like the one above, but with more business management features.
- Windows 10 Education, which is optimized for schools.
- Windows 10 IoT Core, which is for robots, smart sensors, and — well, if you need it, you'll know it.
There, fixed. Again.

Other than trying to contradict some part of the advertising campaign I am not sure what the point of the article is. Does anyone really care that the OS has different versions optimized for different hardware and purposes? It seems like a given.
I suppose Microsoft is pointing out that the platform has more consistency between computer and mobile versions. Even though I have been using both phones, tablets and computers for years... I think that I would find this useful and less frustrating.

In other words, there will be only two versions: Home (for most people) and Pro (for those who log into domain at work.) Enterprise will not be seen outside of a few server rooms. Mobile versions will not take off. Educational version will be very uncommon outside of the poorest schools. The IoT version... who needs that one if Linux runs on all these things? Who is going to pay royalties for the IoT version when Linux/BSD/Android are free? Microsoft cannot compete with free.
