How Ultimate is Windows Vista Ultimate?

Windows Vista Ultimate is so freakin’ ultmiate that it can’t run the ultmiate add-on because the ultimate pair of monitors are running at the ultimate screen resolution (two Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP monitors at 2560×1600 apiece). This is ultimately not much of a let-down for me, as most of Vista’s Ultimate extras have proven themselves to be anything BUT.

Error messages are simply stunning in Vista Ultimate:
