I think I'll sue Microsoft because they never told me that the $99 version of Vista was Basic and not Ultimate. It doesn't matter that everyone already knows that basic is the $99 version, I'm an idiot and it's Microsoft's fault.

I was tricked the same way, but I kind of blame Dell. I was under the impression that my computer would come with XP installed and I would have the option of upgrading for free. It came with Vista Basic installed
