Vista - Vista Ultimate Extras - Any Ideas?

Is there any information out about what Vista Ultimate Extras is likely to
include? Will this be themes like those available in XP Plus Pack or more
than that?

Hi Kevin,

There's lots of speculation, but Microsoft has not published anything about
any extras as of yet.

Don't expect anything yet. Vista has not yet publically launched. Start
looking for some items on or after Jan 30.

Perhaps some spyware gadgets or similar items maybe.

MS is keeping the Extras secret for launch. They want to have some
surprises for Launch Day.

And I guess I should hold judgment until they actually come out.

I reckon that it will turn out to be a bunch of crap similar to Plus! stuff.
Motion Desktop is the only thing that is known about. Looks crap to me.
