How do I get Windows Ultimate Extras downloads and services?

As the owner of a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate, you have access to unique
programs and services.

Download the latest Windows Ultimate Extras programs and services
Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs,
and then clicking Windows Update.

When Windows Ultimate Extras are available, they appear in the Windows
Ultimate Extras section on the Windows Update page.

In other words, you must have "Ultimate" version.

Find which edition of Windows Vista you are using
Applies to: Ultimate.
Which edition of Windows Vista am I using?

To find out which edition of Windows Vista is running on your computer, do
the following:

Open Welcome Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel,
clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Welcome Center.

The edition of Windows Vista you are running is displayed with your computer
details near the top of the window.

Note - You can also open Welcome Center by clicking the Start button , and
then clicking Welcome Center.

OR -

I understand your concern ....
It looks like there is something going on with the update process for
Ultimate Extras.
I was able to grab Bit Locker + EFS and the Hold'Em game at the same time.
Unfortunately there are additional extras that have been reviewed and were
supposed to be available at the same time. These includes "Dream Scene" (aka
Motion Desktop) and a phot app called "Group Shot". Hopefully MS is just
staging the availability of these updates and has not pulled back on their
original plans of releasing all 4 items with retail availability on 1/30/2007.

Thanks -
John
