   Why isn't it possible to release such videos in a proper quality without a moving camera, with perfect loops and without dirt an the material? Microsoft should invest more than just 5 minutes to search some stock footage.

   Hey tino, those videos loop *perfectly* on my computer, so it must be something on your machine.

   Can't tell the same about the installer. I installed these together with the english language pack for Vista Ultimate. I don't know which one, but one of them crashed my AntiVir OnAccess Guard, had to restart the computer.

   One annoying thing about the sound schemes... I get a sound when right clicking on any option (Windows Live Messenger, desktop properties, etc.) and can't seem to turn it off. What's the name of that sound property ?

   The "Ultimate" wallpapers that used to be at the old Ultimate site disapeared - or at least, I can't find them. Were are they?

   The Sound schemes is a good idea..hope to see more sound schemes in the near future..

   It would be really nice to see some cool screensavers as extras..

   It be nice if we actually received some decent applications as part of the extra's content. How is it that Language packs are considered "extra". I paid a lot "extra" to get Vista Ultimate. The premium paid is so far disappointing unless I go and learn 50 other languages.

   Is there something up with the UltimatePC.com site? Whenever I go see the full list of 'Exclusives' it shows me the 'Extras', in fact the only exclusive I have ever seen highlighted is the discount on Stardock Multiplicity.

   Are there more exclusives than the Multiplicity deal or is this the obscure way to show that there is only one so far?

    I'm an IT Consultant and use Vista a lot on many computer. Ultimate and Extras are great, I love the HD dreamscapes, but it's all lost because the screen savers can't show that video. The only time someone could see these great HD dreamscapes on my duel 22" dell monitors is when I'm not there, but the screen saver comes on for security so they see nothing!

    Major over sight, it's very short sighted not to allow the same video to be played on my screen saver! I wish you and Microsoft would listen and ask us the customers, I have so many basic features we need but no one listens to us.
