Microsoft has released two new Windows Vista Ultimate Extras. Windows Vista has been out for over a year, and so far Microsoft has released remarkably few Extras. The company initially promised that Extras would be special applications available to Vista Ultimate users that would help set the premium version of the operating system apart from cheaper versions. But Microsoft has been rather slow to deliver.Today, users can download a new content pack for DreamScene, an animated desktop background application. There are also two new sound schemes called Glass and Pearl. Reading their descriptions is a bit like reading the description of a fine wine, so if you want to know what they sound like, you'll probably just have to download the packs yourself. Or you can listen to an audio demo created by Long Zheng of istartedsomething.
In other news, Microsoft has also released 18 updated language packs for Windows Vista, which should show up via Windows Update.

Sooo... seriously, they expect people to shell out extra for a premium version, then after almost a year, all they give you is wallpapers and sound schemes? The kind you can find zillions of for free online?
Nice.

Everybody who wanted Extras knew what they were getting. It's just that MS took a ridiculously long time giving it.
If you planned on getting Ultimate just for these extras, then somebody really needs to look at himself in the mirror.
