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?
