Microsoft seems to be preparing to release an unusual "Vista Plus Pack" on February 15th. Based on the provided box art, the Plus Pack appears to be a collection of four casual games that are "Enhanced for Windows Vista".

FEATURES:
* By integrating search throughout the operating system, helps you quickly find and organize large collections of documents, pictures, movies, videos, and music.
* Includes Windows Tablet and Touch Technology that enables you to interact with your Tablet PC-compatible computer with a digital pen or your fingertip instead of having to use a keyboard.
* Includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment centre enjoy music, photos, and DVD movies.

The listing for the software was found on Future Shop's online catalog and the price is $39.99 Canadian dollars.
This is what happened to Windows Vista Ultimate Extras

Too bad it doesn't include Dreamscene or Hold'em Poker. =/

Are the Media Center components included in this new?

quite frankly this should be available for download FREE OF CHARGE to ultimate users only... i mean we paid extra, for freaking dreamscenes and a new game? cmon...

You also paid for bitlocker
Be able to use 4 Virtual Machines in the same OS without being charge for them
You can use it both for biseness and home
You can have more memory on it if you have a 64 bit OS

-bitlocker asks for a new partion + its kinda useless if you make backups constantly (once per week for me with acronis)
-virtual machine = vmware
-like you cant use the other versions for that?
-wow home premium is sufficient for 99% of users, business is the most needed

ultimate promised us a ton of extras and weve got nothing really in return, thanks microsoft, but afaik i still thing the vista investment i made was worth it... a very good os, only i would have gotten home premium instead of ultimate

I want my "Ultimate Extras" ... oh wait... I have Vista Home Premium edition...

Vista Ultimate users must have been feeling deceived right now

[vD3stroyiR(666)]

What about the ability to change your system language within a reboot rather than needing to reinstall your OS altogether?

HEH... Sounds useful, but if the rumors of it having Windows Aero are true, I'd sure as hell buy it.

It would be a weird (for Ultimate users, good for me) if it never mentions it, but also has dreamscene.

(Wonder when it will be available in the US )

Though it may be a down side if either the rumors are false, or if it only has the games and the rest is trialware!
