Default Microsoft delivers one Vista Ultimate add-on, delays 19 others
Quote:
Just days after users and bloggers raised Cain about Microsoft missing a deadline to deliver add-ons that it promised Windows Vista users, the company announced today that it is shipping one program but delaying 19 language packs for another month.

Microsoft also said that while Vista Service Pack 1's on-screen information about the add-ons has been dramatically scaled back from what appeared in the original operating system, it has no intention of dropping the extras.
Quote:
Shipping today, said Barry Goffe, the director of Vista Ultimate, is DreamScene, the long-in-beta video screensaver that first appeared in February.

Yeah Microsoft hasn't done a good job giving those of us who purchased Ultimate our money's worth... Live OneCare should of been free with Ultimate.

I just hate the fact that they advertised all these cool items you could have done, and then put them all on the ultimate.

But... would you really want to run OneCare? It is considered one of the worst antivirus/malware packages.

It looks like it is new, I just checked Windows Update, and the Published date for Dreamscene is 9/25/2007. Don't know if you will see any difference though. If you do, let me know.
