Good idea, poor implementation.
I wouldn't exactly blame Microsoft for an HP marketing rep for getting the differences between Vista Home Premium and Ultimate wrong though. I've seen lots of other bad mistakes made on the promotional floor.
That being said, I completely agree that Ultimate doesn't really have anything compelling to it. The three differences you've listed are all easily added through other programs, not just RDP, and at a much lower cost than $190.
Of course, I've kept most of my machines on XP since for most of them, there wasn't any compelling reason to upgrade them. I will say that the Vista Media Center does look mucho nicer!
