I am glad Microsoft is doing this. The people in the invitation only Beta were seen as professionals who got real testing done, and many of them reported back their feed-back and worked with the devs on issues and bugs that were around then. Microsoft wants to help out the people who were at the core of wider testing during the early phases. This as opposed to the early-adopter, the tech-hungry, and the "I want it free" crowd. They are rewarding those who did the early work.

I realize that a number of people feel "cheated" on the Ultimate path, but honestly I have gotten quite a bit of use out of Ultimate. The "extras" were a flop, to be honest, but the base features were there. I wanted the professional features from business, plus the home consumer features from premium. So I got Vista Ultimate. I have not regretted it at all. I suppose it comes down to the reason you went Ultimate. I went there to have acces to all the options and to tinker till content.
