Where are the ultimate extras?

It has been over three months since we last saw anything from the Ultimate
Extra team. Intially this was offered by Microsoft as one of the big value
adds to the Ultimate version of Windows Vista, but to date I can't say they
have delivered that much value. DreamScene was sweet but lasted only a few
hours, Holdem was fun again only a half usable thing since it wasn't network
capable, the Bitlocker tool was useful for some....

So what is up guys, have you gone on an extended vacation? Are we not going
to see any more Extras? Is Microsoft out of ideas for what to offer?
Anyone else disappointed in this so far?

Yes, I for one am disappointed. Dreamscene is nice and I like it but it can
hardly be regarded as a major functionality enhancement and certainly
doesn't justify the additional cost of purchasing Ultimate. Perhaps MS will
deliver in the not too distant future. And perhaps it is just as likely
that, as you say, they have exhausted their imagination in what to provide
as part of Extras. Let's hope they have something up their sleeves.

I cant even use dreamscene on my work machine because my video card doesnt
support it.
