Okay Gamers; I need some information.

It's harder to beat the chess game in easy mode than playing with my friends

I've noticed just by the posts on the forums that Ultimate is more common in Europe and the UK. Maybe that has to do with pricing, or a sales strategy by MS.

Or maybe they are just pirated versions. Hard to say...

Personally, I don't see a difference between Ultimate and Pro when it comes to playing games, and other than the memory cap on Home Premium, there should be no difference there, too.

16gb is more than enough IMO and don't need a ton of memory for a couple VM's i would say sweet spot with 16GB on Home premium

Never saw a need to get the more expensive versions if i am not running a business

^This.

Also, some people get the Ultimate edition instead because their friends or relatives suggested that it would be better if they have the Ultimate installed. My Uncle did that to me and I wasn't convinced.
