It seems to me that the perfect version of Vista for gaming is "Business". It is pretty much the exact equivalent of XP Pro. It has RDP and advanced user/permissions management. And the OEM version is just $11 more than Pro OEM.

If it lacks "Games Explorer"- so what. Serious games don't need that.

It does lack Media Center but that blows for anything other than a dedicated HTPC with TV-only display. MC also probably runs a bunch of unwanted background services.

Is there any feature of Ultimate that is worth the extra money and bloat for a gaming setup?

The functions that are in it and not the other versions are not related to games.
