Vista Ultimate buyers protest against missing Extras

Vista Ultimate users feel let down by Microsoft as no new Vista add-ons have been released since last February. They were promised extra features to distinguish the $399 operating system from $239 Home Premium.

Microsoft haven`t delivered any new Windows Vista Extras since it issued a beta of DreamScene, a video screensaver, in February. Barry Goffe, the director of Vista Ultimate apologized in a posting to a Microsoft Blog on July 2 and added: "We intend to ship Windows DreamScene and the remaining 20 Language Packs by the end of the summer."

Well, since summer is already gone it seems Microsoft failed in keeping their promise to deliver premium add-ons to users by "the end of summer" deadline. Most users who left comments on the Blog said they felt bamboozled. 

"The only "ultimate" thing about my copy of Vista is that it is the last copy I will buy of a Microsoft OS," posted a user in the Blog.

A minority, however, was more forgiving about the failure to make the deadline.
