Windows Vista Ultimate Extras is available as a part of the Windows Update

service, it is an exclusive service available only to licensed Vista

Ultimate users. Open the Windows Update shell and click check for updates

and you will see a wide range of special add ons and services become

available such as Bitlocker Drive Encryption, Hold Em' Poker, World Wide

Language Interfaces, DreamScene and more to come in the future.



Vista Ultimate is not just defined by Ultimate Extras, this special SKU

offers the best of both worlds in business computing and multimedia giving

users choice to experiment and use a wide range of hardware form factors.

Please enjoy.

No offense, a game that could easily be on any OS and dreamscene (language

packs, dear me), you guys can't be serious!



This is all smoke and mirrors, ok list whats coming up then, I bet its

nothing, just like SP1.

Note that they are "Vista Ultimate" extras, not Vista "Ultimate Extras".



They have no connection to SP1. There may well be more in time but, for now,

the Vista team have other more pressing obligations..

vista is crap.. you should have asked here before you got it



I would warn you about it

Sorry it says "Windows Ultimate Extras".



So in other words, its a load of BS, other priorities, dear god. In other

words you have no idea, and neither does MS.



I'm getting very disgruntled by this so called Vista experience, I tell you

what SP1 better sort this OS out to the level of XP otherwise this company

will dump this OS.



Its all hype!

Those are extras and available through Windows Update, and Microsoft said

from the beginning that they will be only for Vista Ultimate customers. Yes,

I've noticed people have been complaining that these are not enough extras,

but the Microsoft guys say there will be more coming down the pipe. It's a

wait 'n see.

Ultimate Extras is just one aspect of Windows Vista Ultimate, as I

previously noted, Vista offers value through its best of both worlds

computing for business and consumer multimedia.

It has already been decided that it will be dumped just like millennium

which is unfortunate because Vista rocks on my machine !!!

"smithy" <smith@com.au>wrote in message

I assume you have Windows Vista Ultimate since the Extras are not

available with other versions of Windows Vista.

There have been a few Extras released.

And many feel they are fewer than expected.

However since the specifics were unknown from the beginning, few if

any made their purchase decision on this.



"...otherwise this company will dump this OS"

It seems your decision was based largely on this, perhaps it is best

you return Windows Vista.

You. on the other hand. have a very "apparent problem" and that is that

so we know that you suffered a brain injury in the war, but that doesn't
