Microsoft seems to be preparing to release an unusual "Vista Plus Pack" on February 15th.
Based on the provided box art, the Plus Pack appears to be a collection of four casual games that are "Enhanced for Windows Vista". The listing for the software was found on Future Shop's online catalog by MadDoggyca in our forums. Details below:
Releases 15 Feb/08. User-friendly software combines the features of Vista Home Basic with even more impressive and user-friendly capabilities. Features Windows Aero, an efficient and visually stunning interface that makes it easier to accomplish multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all of your open applications and documents.
FEATURES:
* By integrating search throughout the operating system, helps you quickly find and organize large collections of documents, pictures, movies, videos, and music.
* Includes Windows Tablet and Touch Technology that enables you to interact with your Tablet PC-compatible computer with a digital pen or your fingertip instead of having to use a keyboard.
* Includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment centre enjoy music, photos, and DVD movies.

people who bought vista ultimate were promised extras, but to date we have received very
little other than lackluster performance, drm, uac and a host of other miseries.
microsoft is shameful, they should just give this to ultimate users. myself, i couldn't
stand the poor performance of vista and have since rolled back to xp pro. vista is a
resource hog that is stuck in the mud of its own eye candy services that gorge on cpu
cycles and guzzle memory until your system s l o w s down horribly. the wow
definately restarted! its nice to have a real os again that just works. i run single
core xeons at 3.4 ghz, 2 mb onboard cache, 4 gigs of ddr2 ram, 512 mb nvidia card, wd
raptor main drive.
btw ur single core xeon is p4 repackaged
with higher price tag , duh !
i completely agree with from the hood. vista is fine, xp is rubbish - your computer is
pathetic - spend some money and stop living in the past
