what is the difference between Windows 7 Home vs Windows 7 Ultimate?

[Shaolinmonkk]

im still running Vista 64 Ultimate, its time for a upgrade to Windows 7 but I dont know which one to get.

I want the very best OS of course money is not an issue, what does Windows 7 Ultimate have to justify the extra $100 over Home?

is Windows 7 Home lacking any major features that a gamer or media PC would need?

The main things Ultimate has are:

Ability to join a domain
BiLocker (drive encryption)
Can run Windows in any language (downloadable from Windows Update when using Ultimate)

There's probably more, but these are the main features that I've manged to remember.
