The Death of Windows Vista Extras
,----[ Quote ]

| Microsoft cannot expect Ultimate users to survive on a preview of Windows
| DreamScene with an outdated Content Pack and two Windows Vista wallpapers.
| For $399, Microsoft has to cough up palpable results.

| quiet after mid March, and I have a feeling that silence from the Ultimate
| Extras team is not what Ultimate users want to "hear."
