Since I only deal with residential and small business I would do what I did with Vista and tell them they need the "Home Premium". I would talk them out of "Starter" or simply not offer to install it at all.

The starter looks rubbish abit like Vista basic, i would advice my customers to get Home as well, for what you pay for Windows 7 starter you might as well spend a little more and get the Home premium, i have had a look on the list and i thought the XP mode was included with the Home Premium, but on the list it says it's not.

I'm a person who wants to kill 32-bit so I will always refuse to sell anything that is 32-bit only, including Operating Systems. I will re-install a customers 32-bit only OS if they already have the software and key, but will always reccomend a memory upgrade along with a 64-bit OS.

So to me, as far as it's concerned there are only 3 editions of Windows 7. (Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate). I will never inform my customers of 32-bit editions of said software since 32-bit must die.
