Vista's Ultimate Advantage | |
|
||
| Time: 01:19 EST/06:19 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Watch | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Tonight at the Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft finally gave reason to spend $399 on Windows Vista Ultimate. Windows Ultimate comes with something called "Windows Ultimate Extras." Over the last couple months, I've checked from time to time for Extras to download, but Microsoft has offered none. During Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates' CES keynote, the company revealed that it would release ongoing Vista enhancements through Windows Ultimate Extras.
The approach--assuming Microsoft really delivers--means that Windows Vista Ultimate users will see improvements and enhancements over time. I said "assuming," because one of the two previewed extras, "Group Shot," is available to anyone. Right now.
The other Extra, DreamScene, offers full-motion desktop themes, which means motion rather than static desktop image. Vista Ultimate users also can set video as desktop background, same as they would a picture. | ||
