No offense, a game that could easily be on any OS and dreamscene (language
packs, dear me), you guys can't be serious!

This is all smoke and mirrors, ok list whats coming up then, I bet its
nothing, just like SP1.

Note that they are "Vista Ultimate" extras, not Vista "Ultimate Extras".

They have no connection to SP1. There may well be more in time but, for now,
the Vista team have other more pressing obligations..

Well there's Texas Poker, DreamScene and content, Bitlocker and the
Microsoft guys seem to beam as they promise more .. so ..

Saucy

Sorry it says "Windows Ultimate Extras".

So in other words, its a load of BS, other priorities, dear god. In other
words you have no idea, and neither does MS.

I'm getting very disgruntled by this so called Vista experience, I tell you
what SP1 better sort this OS out to the level of XP otherwise this company
will dump this OS.

Its all hype!

Those are extras and available through Windows Update, and Microsoft said
from the beginning that they will be only for Vista Ultimate customers. Yes,
I've noticed people have been complaining that these are not enough extras,
but the Microsoft guys say there will be more coming down the pipe. It's a
wait 'n see.

"Scrubbed?" I wonder why. Yes, so far UE isn't anything to write home
about.
