As a happy Windows Vista Ultimate user, I know that I have access to every feature available across all flavors of the OS - and beyond that, Microsoft extended a promise that all Ultimate users would be granted exclusive access to Windows "Ultimate Extras". These various add-ons were advertised to provide the user an enhanced Vista experience, similar to what XP users got with the "Power Toys" options. So, to supplement the three previously available Ultimate Extras - a Texas Hold 'Em game, Windows DreamScene, and the BitLocker drive encryption tool - Microsoft released three new Extras - new Sound Schemes, updates to DreamScene, and...wait for it...EXTRA LANGUAGE PACKS!!! Excited yet? Me neither. These Ultimate additions are more reminiscent of the cutesy fluff common in the "Plus!" add-on that was optional with Windows 95, and I really don't feel that they represent any significant added value worthy of the "Ultimate" moniker...
