There were basically two editions of Windows XP named Home and Professional. While this was confusing for some it turned out to be a minor problem. In Vista Microsoft decided to create more editions, Windows Vista Home Basic & Premium, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate. I’m not even comparing Enterprise editions and those specifically designed for the European Union. Vista Ultimate was special. It contained all the features of all editions and got a bonus called Windows Vista Ultimate Extras.
Microsoft promised cutting edge programs, innovative services and unique publications just for Windows Vista Ultimate users. If you take a look at what they have delivered after more than one year: DreamScene, Language Packs, BitLocker, a poker game and sound schemes. What you get is a video screen saver, a game, some sounds, new languages (wonder how many need these) and Bitlocker which is a drive encryption software. Does that look like cutting edge programs, innovative services and unique publications to you ?
I wonder how many users who actually made the purchase thinking that they would receive some great add-ons and bonus will buy the ultimate edition of Windows 7 once it comes out. Are you a Vista Ultimate user ? What are your thoughts about the extras so far ? Oh, in case you are wondering what new extras have been released: Two new sound schemes and a third Dreamscene pack.
