Here is the post: Windows 8 preview hints versions get more complex, not less | Electronista

I hate MS, with 32 and 64 bit sets for all that's like 18 products, MS insane or what?

But OEMs have a simpler chart though:

Windows vista and above = mess, xp was the only real deal. Windows xp home, media center and professional the end. Now os x is a much better choice over windows. Leaving the hardware cost part.

i dont think that microsoft will do that... even if it give free to student then probably it will be a year after win8 launch and they will give the useless starter pack....

Why? There is no dearth of free operating systems.
imo, all the cheap laptops should come with linux preinstalled.
will save 5-6k easy.
