In a related note, has Microsoft started infringing on the IP of pizza
chains such as "Round Table". They now offer the "Ultimate" Home
edition...clearly, stealing the signature Ulti-Meat Pizza theme:
"Vista prices and versions
Home Basic: $199
Home Premium: $239
Ultimate: $399
Upgrades: Upgrading from Windows XP or 2000 is a third to a half off new
purchase prices."
