Re: Why is windows 7 only offered in Home Premium version?

Future Shop targets the general home user, and typically doesn't carry any products that come with Professional or Ultimate. (Most netbooks come with Windows 7 Starter installed on them.)

 

For computers that come with other versions of operating systems, you'll need to find a retailer that offers them. Alternatively, you can purchase a computer running Home Premium at Future Shop, and upgrade that version to whichever version of Windows 7 suits your needs.

 

Thanks for the question!

Keep in mind that you can always do an Anytime Upgrade to a higher version of Windows 7.
