Ultimate edition will suit everybodies needs, but it will probably cost a bomb.
Hopefully then, more people will pirate it, if the other, cheaper and crippled versions don't have what they need (but I think home or at least home premium edition probably would).

Quite correct. And the people that will be using this version will be the less better off people/countries, who really, really would be better off with GNU/Linux from what I can tell.
Microsoft don't give two fucks about their users - they just want to take as much money off them as possible.

"Us"? You mean the ten or so (if even) people here that give a crap? Maybe ~0.01% or so other Windows users too?
Joe Stupid is a typical Windows user - he doesn't give a crap and neither does half a billion or so other Windows users.
Microsoft know that they can get away with this - otherwise they wouldn't be doing it, it wouldn't be worth the risk (I could be wrong here.).
Maybe I spoke too soon - I certainly hope I did, and that the Windows users rebel.
That'd be fun :).

I like the fact that there are whatever amount of thousand GNU/Linux distributions out there. Even still, it's tough enough to find one that works exactly the way you want it to work (but since when could you do that with Windows, have it work just the way you want it to work?), and if you don't, then, just make your own distribution or compile your own system, or don't.
It isn't easy for new users to understand - but it's a small price to pay, IMO, for the increadible power this fact ("that there are whatever amount of thousand GNU/Linux distributions out there.") offers.
Like - imagine if there was only one GNU/Linux distribution :scared:.
