A posting on the WindowsUltimate.com website, owned by Microsoft, has revealed that three extras on on their way. They include:

- Windows DreamScene: Make your desktop background actually be a moving picture/movie.

Video: See Video http://www.windowsultimate.com/photo...scenesmall.wmv

- BitLocker and EFS Enhancements: Secure your files even better.

Screenshot: See screenshot http://windowsultimate.com/photos/st...s/sokb-470.png

- Hold 'Em Poker Game: Add a new addition to the free games collection that you get with Vista.

Good info. I wonder why MS just doesn't reveal all the extras for Ultimate now? It seems to me that if the extras are worth paying a little more to get Ultimate, people will definitely go for it. Just tell us what all the extras are' don't keep us in the dark.

yes that would make sense Felix, problem is with Microsoft they always say there gonna do this and that but some stuff never does get done. Maybe this time they don't want to disappoint, so there keeping hush.

I just wish that those of us with Ultimate could get these updates. I would love to play with all of these new features.

That's my whole point. Most people don't buy expensive items just because the possibilities that it'll get to be great in the future; they do buy because they know it's great. So bring those extras out now so we can try them and decide on whether or not is worth the extra price for Ultimate. It's got to be better than Microsoft Plus though.

The sheer audacity of allowing moving backgrounds!!! I want it But instead I will just get premium and have linux with moving backgrounds and virtual desktops and deforming windows all for free!

Thank Snuffy:

I have seen the site. It is very nice. I am looking forward to Texas Hold Em and trying the moving background thingy--at least to see what it does. I don't want it to slow things down.
