They need to look into Version Hierarchies

I feel that beyond the technical issues with Vista,
there was problem with 10 different versions (figure of
speech more than an actual number) and you needed to
get the best version to get all the cool stuff. If they
use the same approach (which looks like they might do
based on the Windows 7 Ultimate I saw in one of the
screenshot), I think they are still going to
disenfranchise buyers.

However, this could be a good thing because that will
push at least the tech savvy crowd more towards
alternate OS (such as Linux and OSX for those who can
afford or need apple) and slowly the regular users
might port over to these OS as well as Microsoft
continues with its adamant attitude. They definitely
have the market share going in favor of them right not
but one must wonder with the rise of startups and web
applications being as powerful as they are, how long
can Microsoft continue to make these same mistakes.

The growth of Open Source alternatives to some of the
beloved windows applications and improvements to Linux
(especially with Ubuntu Distribution) along with
manufacturers such as Dell prepackaging linux on some
of their laptops, the days of Microsoft reign could be
limited if they don't get their act together. It will
get worse especially if Windows 7 just adds bells and
whistles and duct tapes security holes rather than
rethinking the architecture and coming up with elegant
solutions rather than just patching every issue once it
arises and effects computers worldwide.
