Windows Vista Ultimate had an interesting feature touted by Microsoft before it's release, named Extras. This was intended to be an added extra
for the paying the hefty price of Ultimate, to give some bonuses to those who paid for it. Unfortunately, Microsoft didn't plan it very well, and
included very few with in the release of Vista Ultimate. This led Microsoft to publicy apologizing over the matter, and to this day not a great number
have been released. This led people to wonder about Windows 7 Ultimate. Would it feature Extras, or would Microsoft not worry about them this time

at the very top of the pile is
the Windows Vista SCU that
gives you everything that is
in both the top of the lines

The main

full feature set of Windows

deal for Windows Vista
Ultimate users in the form of
Windows Vista Ultimate Extras.
Ultimate Extras is an on-going
series of downloadable content
that allows Microsoft to
deliver some outstanding new
features to Ultimate users
even after release.
This week at CES, Microsoft
unveiled the first set of
Ultimate Extras including

made several promises of more extras which resulted in the company launching UltimatePC.com which now redirects to the Vista home-page.

anything and should never be trusted again.
Two months ago, after weeks of
pressuring for answers, Microsofts Windows
Ultimate group director Barry Goffe
finally
spoke out about the missing Windows Vista Ultimate Extras. As implied throughout most marketing materials including the
official website and even Window
Vistas own control panel, Ultimate Extras were suppose to be frequent and free premium products and services delivered to the customers who wanted it
all. And the truth is, customers are getting near to nothing. Although realistically not everyones equally upset at the lack of extras, some argue it
wasnt part of their choice to buy Vista Ultimate, which is fine but that doesnt help the people who did.
