The Ultimate irony.

In case the professional version of Windows hasn't been cutting it for you, Microsoft has an even better edition - the Ultimate Edition - of Windows Vista and Office 2007:

The new retail package, which was not part of the Office 2007 lineup announced back in February, will offer nearly all the components available to large businesses in one $679 product. A Microsoft representative said on Thursday that the new entrant in the lineup was "created as a result of customer feedback," but didn't offer more details on its origins.

I can just imagine that conversation:

Customer: Hmmm. We've got the top of the line Professional Windows and Office versions, but I feel that we just need something more.

Microsoft: We can help. We have this new ultimate edition. It has everything you already have, but it costs more. And you can play videos and games just like at home.

Customer: But we already have everything we need. And we don't want our employees playing videos and games. We just remove all of that stuff.

Microsoft: But it's the Ultimate version. You don't want to be a dinosaur do you?

Meanwhile, can somebody explain to me the difference between the current versions of Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional? Other than those merely printed on the license agreement?
