The link you gave already had the answer clearly written & charted for you....apart from Bitlocker fuction, you get "Work in the language of your choice and switch between any of 35 languages" if you use Windows 7 Ultimate....
Nothing else....They call me the mysterious one...
my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

yes i believe ultimate has all premium features not bundled with professional edition that enterprises dont need... like media center... with vista ultimate also featured the extras... you need to find another comparison table i guess...

I'm sorry...I guess I was too quick to comment & made assumptions....I've found the perfect answer here:
Windows 7 Editions Comparison Chart (Wikipedia)
You can also take a look at this chart here (zoom to get a clearer view):

If you're going to pay for it, I suggest you read this:
Why is Microsoft even offering Windows 7 Ultimate?
Why did Microsoft even consider releasing Windows 7 Ultimate? It's not only more expensive than Windows 7 Professional, which sports all the features most folks would need anyway, but its add-ons are, once again, inconsequential.Your pickAlthough I haven't seen Microsoft's customer research, I have a hard time believing the PC enthusiast will look at Windows 7 Ultimate as the go-to version. PC enthusiasts are generally experts with a high-level of computing knowledge. Why would they pick an overpriced OS edition whose features can't justify its price?
Quite the contrary, Windows 7 Ultimate edition looks like a sucker's bet. Folks who go to the store with little knowledge about software will be left wondering why they shouldn't just spend an additional $20 for Windows 7 Ultimate when, judging by the name, it must be better than Professional. (Boxed copies of Windows 7, available in October, will cost $119 for Home Premium, $199 for Professional, and $219 for Ultimate.)
Windows 7 Ultimate is really only Windows 7 Enterprise by another name. It offers nothing compelling that would make home or even small business users want to buy it. And yet, Microsoft is still selling it at full price.

@hellnoire
I would be cursing Starter Edition, from now onThat would be the Starter Edition, I believe... it's meant to restrict you a lot.
I wouldn't want to have limited access to functions... Bill Gates might as well remove those functions in Starter Edition.
Here to prevail on your failures.
