Last night we released via Windows Update the first series of Windows Vista Ultimate Extras.  To get Ultimate Extras, you must have a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate.  The following Ultimate Extras were released last evening:

    hey Insensed

    Re:

    You all need FIRED for your utter disreguard in releasing games to your weenie friends instead of focusing part of your company's six-billion-dollar R&D on the productivyy apps we ALREADY HAD WORKING.

    Why not go to India and teach English- it would be time better spent.

    I dont Know from where did the last line come.

    Y drag cultures and all in this discussion. I would request you to prohibit such comments as it hurts people from a particular country.

    Anyways Nick,

    Hey Lowdata:  Ultimate Extras are available in 15 languages now, with the rest of the languages to be released on a staggered basis.  Ultimately we expect to have Extras available to Ultimate customers in all supported Windows languages.

    Hey gonghao:  Some countries (represented in Windows by languages) will not get localized versions of certain Ultimate Extras; the Chinese language (Traditional and Simplified) is one of those that will not be receiving Hold 'em Poker.  Sorry for the disappointing news.

    Wow, thanks, I was getting mad Dreamscene hadn't downloaded yet. But thanks, Microsoft, I now know I suck at poker.

    Hey chargedRam:  you should have access to all of the Extras available in your locale; just open Windows Update and have it check for any new Extras you've not yet loaded.

    Hey tredblack:  RC1 is going to expire soon and is no longer being supported by us, so I'd suggest moving on the the retail RTM version of your choice.

    Hey Bruce Robertson:  I'm afraid that's a question for the OEM's support line, not this blog -- sorry.

    Hey pemx20 (and others who've asked this same question):  Extras are not available for RC1, but only for RTM versions.
