  2. ESRI Product Names The ArcGIS Desktop is a family of three products ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView that share the same core applications, user interface, and development environment.GIS functionality increases as you move from ArcView to ArcEditor to ArcInfo. It can be helpful to think of these as Product Levels rather than different products.

  3. This link provides an explanation of the differences in functionality between the levels: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/about/gis-for-me.html Each of these product levels has the same set of core features: ArcMap: The primary GIS interface for analysis and mapping ArcCatalog:Allows you to organize and access all GIS information ArcToolbox:Includes analysis and geoprocessing tools ArcScene: Allows you to represent terrain in 3-dimensions (psuedo) ArcGlobe: ESRI’s answer to Google Earth, 3D world view Optional Extensions: Enhance the functionality of the ArcGIS Desktop
