Microsoft delivers three Vista Ultimate extras
Microsoft today unveiled three free downloadable add-ons for Windows Vista Ultimate, the first time in five months that the company has refreshed its "Ultimate Extras," once a chief selling point for the operating system's highest-priced edition.
The add-ons include a puzzle game, dubbed "Tinkers;" a Windows sound scheme based on the game; and new content for Dreamscape, a video-based screensaver.
User reaction on Microsoft's own Vista support forum was lukewarm. "I downloaded them, installed them, viewed them, and will [be] un-installing them," said a user identified as "BChat" in a terse message. "Yes, they are a little disappointing," echoed another user, John Barnett, on the same thread.
