Windows release naming model: nowadays, isn't that like 5 different versions 
for Vista?

Let's see how the new marketing plan looks:

DMD 2008 Starter Edition -- compiles the sample "hello" program out of box! 
Cool!
DMD 2008 Home Basic Edition -- includes docs/manuals for those insatiable 
self-taught types!
DMD 2008 Business Edition -- we're throwing in a debugger and an Eclipse 
IDE with Descent plugin!
DMD 2008 Enterprise Edition -- Enhanced functionailty and concurrent compiling 
feature for multi-core cpus... distributed compiling also an option! PLUS 
we provide a link to the Enterprise Edition of the Tango library!

DMD 2008 Ultimate Edition -- Includes everything from other editions PLUS 
the Template Guru Kit, Tom S. Graphics/GUI libs,  compile-time raytracer 
demo, compile-time regex kit, free subscription to next 7 releases, FREE 
newsgroup support (courtesy of expert volunteers that provide 24 hour realtime 
service), free on-line dsource service and a full-featured GUI Framework 
called DWT. ;-D

Okay, I must be seriously giddy. :-)
