New Windows Vista Ultimate extras released

[Sir Topham Hatt]

I am suprised there are so many versions of Vista.

Instead of producing a version without Media Player or whatever, why not just have something in the advanced installation that allows you to check or un-check that item to install? There should be Windows Home, Windows Business and Windows Server or something, none of this Ultimate, Home, Home Premium, Media Centre Edition lark. . .

Downloading extras now though. I might tinker all night if I get into it!

That new game doesn't look that bad.

What do the new DreamScenes look like?

The reason I think they are so boring and uninspired are because the three new ones are basically the same scene; big body of water with land in the distance and some clouds. The only thing changed about each of them is the color. How creative....

lame extras :(

I think that might be part of the reason people are switching to OS X nowadays. You buy the OS and you have the full package. Apple's 'Choose a Vista' ad is one of the few I actually agree with completely.

the Vista Ultimate extras are a joke... seriously.

the whole ultimate extras thing was a disaster. it was a good idea from a marketing perspective but in reality it wasn't really practical. i hope nobody bought ultimate on the promise of "ultimate extras" alone (although i suspect some people were stupid enough)

anyway i suspect this is one feature we won't be seeing in windows 7....... hopefully

windows 7 basic extras home extras and home premium extras and business extras and ultimate extras and starter windows 7 extra's

Tinker is a cool puzzle game.

The record feature is pretty handy.

Meh, they're hardly extras :/

I don't even use Ultimate because there's nothing that Ultimate has that I need that Home Premium doesn't. I doubt that'll change, as it doesn't look that Microsoft is going to provide any extras for Ultimate that are useful.

Exactly. They haven't released anything I've actually wanted yet.
