Vista Ultimate Buyers Fume Over Missing Extras

Critics who blasted Microsoft three months ago for failing to deliver Windows Vista add-ons have again called the company on the carpet, this time for missing its self-imposed deadline to provide promised extras. In late June, bloggers and users were already panning Vista Ultimate Extras as a bust. Extras, available only to customers running the top-end Vista edition, was one of the features cited by Microsoft to distinguish the USD 399 operating system from its USD 239 cousin, Home Premium. Microsoft’s online marketing, for instance, touted Extras as ‘cutting-edge programs, innovative services, and unique publications’ that would be regularly offered to Ultimate users.
