Windows Vista Ultimate Extras?

Good morning,

Does anyone else feel they were robbed by purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate?

I mean seriously now, all I heard prior to release was about these fantastic
extras which Ultimate users would be able to install thanks to the Windows
Ultimate extras feature under Windows update.

Ok now lets count the number of Ultimate Extras released thus far. Left hand
up, Bitlocker, Dreamscene, Hold-em poker, hmmmm..... I cant think of any
more!

Come on Microsoft, you are being ridiculous. If you want people to carry on
buying the top of the range product and giving them nothing extra for the
huge extra amount of money!

Come on, get with it!

I like Windows Fax & Scan after upgrading to Ultimate. I can scan wirelessly
and that feature alone cost $50 using 3rd party software.

Hey Froggy,

My Windows Business has Fax and Scan.

"My Windows Business has Fax and Scan"

Well my Home Preminum did not come with Fax & Scan. I did'nt know it at the
time but I know now.
Ultimate also has bit blocker but I understand you need to partition the HD
before installing Vista to use it.

Based upon Microsoft's promises regarding Ultimate Extras I decided to
purchase Vista Ultimate. Microsoft has failed to live up to the promises
made.
I would not have purchased Vista Ultimate had I known then what I know
today. My sole reason for purchasing Ultimate was the Ultimate Extras as I
was upgrading from Vista Home Premium. I neither need nor desire any of the
other features included with Ultimate that were not included in Home
Premium.
I have read comments such as "Ultimate Extras will be released sometime
in the future when new, more advanced hardware becomes available." In my
opinion that is nothing but a lame excuse. I'm not a developer but I'm sure
there are several "Ultimate Extras" that could be developed and used with
the existing available hardware. If this advanced available hardware is
released at the same time or after the next Windows version is released I
certainly would have waited until that future time.
I may be incorrect but I feel Microsoft has abandoned Ultimate Extras
in favor of devoting their development and research efforts to the next
version of Windows.
Yes, I feel that I was robbed.

C.B.
