All the Vista versions have their advantages and none are universally
"better".

"Now tell me in what way Windows Vista Starter Edition is better than
Windows Vista Ultimate."
The fact you even asked this question shows you miss or ignore some of the
basics.
"less features" is not always bad especially when those features are not
needed.
The Starter version can and probably is a far better option for many
similarly other versions will better meet the needs of the informed buyer
than Ultimate.
Clearly Ultimate is not the best for everyone.

Have you considered price?
Many have no need for the extra features and thus have no need to spend the
$ for Ultimate when other versions will meet the needs.
An informed buyer will not miss the missing features since they will not be
needed anyways, but they will keep some of their $.

Your "personal view" seems to be flawed since it seems to ignore price and
features gained by the added , many of which unneeded by most.
Perhaps the statement would have been more accurate if you had placed "for
me" in the sentence
