   Yes, the interesting thing is DreamScene, according to the votes, and most people wanted that, so instead, we get the other things first.

   Nick, can we know how soon Dreamseven will be released? I can tell you that the enthusiasts community is very excited about it. We don't pirate, so while others have been 'enjoying' it, we've been chomping at the bit.

   How about answering the questions being posed on the "Multiple Announcements Today" thread or is it impossible for a Microsoft person to give a clear and concise answer to this question.

   Only available for English versions ? I done the update on French Vista version, but no ultimate extras.

   Will Ultimate Extras be available for Beta testers who still have evaluation copies running on their PCs?

   Nick, still thanks for not getting back to all the other questions people have put to you. I've just got another.  

   In the multiple announcements thread you said

   "Hey Posted by michaelau:  the term "upgrade" means exactly that -- you need to have another Windows OS as a base from which to install these versions of the Windows Vista OS; IOW, a clean install will not work."

   But in another link (not your blog) Paul Thurrott is quoted

   "People with older Windows versions (9x, Me, NT) do not qualify for upgrade pricing. Windows 2000 and XP x64 users do qualify for upgrade pricing, but they cannot do an inplace upgrade. Instead, they will need to use an Upgrade version of Vista to perform a full-install of the product. Windows XP users, meanwhile, qualify for upgrade pricing and can perform an in-place upgrade (which I don't recommend) or a full install of Vista using an Upgrade version."

   Thanks for not answering my other questions, i'll add this to the pile if you like (-;

   Hi Nick,

   When will the ultimate extras and language packs be available to WSUS?

   I can't download any Ultimate Extras... can you get them with Vista RC1?
