Creaming is what you do to extract the best part of raw milk.  Creaming a market is intended to extract the most valuable part of a demand curve . . . the one that results from price elasticity.

A friend asked me about whether it was worth paying to upgrade his Windows 7 Home Premium to Pro.  I told him that outside a corporate network (like one controlled by a FileSafe or Windows Server,) it probably didn't matter much - UNLESS - that PC was going to be accessed remotely.  The Pro version of Microsoft's OS products include Terminal Services.  A very handy feature for remote access.  (But one you probably wouldn't need if the PC/Laptop in question was the only one you owned.)

A little research showed up this matrix from Microsoft describing their OS products.  Too many, too confusing and too expensive.  But that's what you get from a monopolist creaming the market.
