Which Windows 7 editions support multiple processors?

I have a dual processor machine with each processor having dual cores for 4 total.

Now when I was buying Windows Vista only the business premium and ultimate versions supported dual processor systems, does this mean that only Windows 7 professional and ultimate likewise support dual processor machines or have Microsoft extended support too other editions?

It's similar to previous Microsoft OS's. Only Professional and above will support multiple sockets.
