    The truth : It does not seem funny in any way. The page shows how consumer can more wisely choose an edition that suits their needs.

    They are missing two options, XP and Linux. I purchased a new notebook with Vista Business, but reformatted with XP SP2. It wasn't funny, but I am much happier.

    Yes. Clearly they left out some of the differentiating features of Vista Ultimate like... Ultimate Extras. Meanwhile Business and Ultimate both have more security features, like Bitlocker, also not shown.

    Then again for 95% of consumers, neither will be terribly useful.

    Its pretty funny i guess. I mean they say there are only 3 features that vista ultimate has, that basic does not. Thats beyond ignorant. Basic is probably the most crippled OS microsoft has ever released. Hell, i think ME had more features.
