Microsoft dumps Ultimate Extras from Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| Ultimate Extras was among the elements Microsoft cited in the months leading
| up to the early-2007 release of Windows Vista Ultimate to distinguish it from
| lower-priced versions. According to Microsoft's marketing, Extras was to
| be "cutting-edge programs, innovative services and unique publications" that
| would be regularly offered only to users of Vista's highest-priced edition.

| But users blasted Microsoft for the paltry number of add-ons it released and
| its leisurely development pace. Just five months after Vista was launched,
| critics started to complain, which led Microsoft to promise that it would do
| better.
