Ultimate Edition started off as Ubuntu Christmas Edition and was made as a Christmas present for the Ubuntu community. The creator TheeMahn created Ubuntu Ultimate 1.1. Ultimate Edition has software pre-installed and ready for use even in the live CD/DVD environment than Ubuntu. Ubuntu Ultimate 1.2 was released shortly after 1.1 with new software. To answer the call of gamers[citation needed], TheeMahn then built Ubuntu Ultimate Gamers Edition. On October 18, 2007, TheeMahn received an e-mail from Canonical asking that the use of the Ubuntu logo and name stop. The reason was that Ubuntu Ultimate had become too different from Ubuntu and that continued use of the name and logo may damage the Ubuntu Project[1]. Ubuntu Ultimate then became Ultimate Edition.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Edition_%28Ubuntu%29
