Ultimately, there is only one Vista edition: The Ultimate Edition
And I guess therein lies the problem.
Surely the big stores are going to pursuade Joe Average he needs the Ultimate edition regardless of his needs ..
Joe: "Hi, I like that PC there. How Much is it?"
Rep: "Its on sale right now. Just £350.
Joe: "Ok, but I which version of Vista should I get with it?"
Rep: "Gotta be the Ultimate one kiddo. All the others have essential features and applications missing."
Joe: "Mm, ok. I'll take it."
Rep: "That'll be £12,000. Do you have medical insurance?"
