Pros: Speed, Ram support, Extremely stable, Easy to use, Runs all games, Less usage than Vista
Cons: Price, Quite big, More usage than XP
Introduction:
Windows 7 Ultimate is the strongest package of Windows 7 you can buy. With the 64bit version you have support for a massive 192GB of System memory, and get all of the great Windows 7 features.
Review:
Compatibility for Windows 7 is very good, and it will run on almost all computers as long as you meet the system requirements. All of the games I own run, but there are a few that don't like The Sims 2. Alot of old games work too, like Age of empires 1, and Return to castle Wolfeinstein. You can use DOSbox to run Very old games like Daggerfall as well.
The stability of this OS is excellent unlike Vista. I have never had a BSOD apart from when I've got an unstable overclock. People say they need to Reformat and re-install every year, this is NOT the case, I just use AVG Cleaner and my PC has been running the same speed as new for almost a year and a half.
Windows 7 runs extremely fast, and doesn't use as many resources as Vista, but a little more than XP unfortunately.
Conclusion:
All in all this is one of the best Windows 7 versions there are, it runs games, programs and more while maintaining speed and Integrity. However, It just can't justify the price.

'better' is subjective.
Windows is preferable for gaming (basically required). It's also more noob friendly for general computer usage, but linux based systems can browse the web and edit documents just as well and usually with more customization. Windows is also preferred for most workstations because it has more "official support", as do the application which run on it.
Linux however is far superior when it come to server solutions. I freaking hate windows servers, complete junk.
As to windows 7 ultimate... get professional or home. Read http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/compare
Bit locker is useless, so the only reason to get ultimate is for languages. It doesn't give you bragging rights, at least not anyone computer savvy.
Could be a hell of a lot stabler too. Maybe you don't get bluescreen for reasons other than ocing, but I sure do (ever tried to use the drive partitioner in windows? or system restore? or even just a random system update that stops your computer from starting.)
You obviously have not tried Linux. Aside from having the monopoly on games, what could windoze ever have better than Linux?

I think you forgot a few:
After so many releases, MS still hasn't figured out how to make a virus free product and they never will. So you need anti-virus running in the background, anti-malware, defragging, and who hasn't needed to reformat every year or so? windoze will always get slower and slower no matter how much you think you can maintain it and you will eventually need to reformat it and start over again.
I've had Linux for 8 years now and it gets faster all the time. The only time I reformatted it is because it was on the same drive as windoze.
Are your drivers up to date? What about your anti-virus, anti-spyware, and registry cleaner? You NEVER have to worry about that crap with Linux.

No s**t dude! But if you want to pay big money for a bloated, unsafe, unreliable OS, then be my guess.
You say windoze is better than Linux? Give me one, JUST ONE thing (outside of gaming) that windoze does better than Linux?
All that aside, you did a great review. :thumbs up:
