images/news/vista.jpgOK, today my rant is on a topic that others have been talking about for a few days now but which nonetheless bugs me and I feel I need to get it off my chest - Where are all the cool Windows Vista Extras we were promised?

Windows Vista has been out for months and so far Vista Ultimate users have been given four Extras:

* Hold ‘Em – poker game
* BitLocker and EFS enhancements – encryption tool
* Language pack – sheesh, that’s gotta be the most boring extra imaginable
* Windows DreamScene – a buggy utility that allows you to have video desktop backgrounds (and according to Long Zheng might never come out of beta)

Can you feel the “Wow!” yet? I sure as hell can’t. Seriously, this current line-up of Extras suck real bad. The suckiest has to be the language pack which is nothing more than an add-on with limited appeal.

What would you like to see as an Extra?

Or how about office 2007 to be an extra? LOL, people WOULD pay the extra for ultimate if it came packaged with that...well, maybe not...
