New Windows Ultimate Extras Now Available

Today we are excited to announce that 3 new Windows Ultimate Extras are now available for installation via Windows Update! This is the 6th wave of Ultimate Extras released by Microsoft exclusively for Windows Vista Ultimate users. Users will find the following Ultimate Extras waiting to be installed:

Microsoft ® Tinker (TM): Microsoft Tinker is a casual game that provides players with short puzzle game play sessions set in a warm, calming environment.

Ultimate Extras Sounds from Microsoft Tinker: Based on the positive feedback we received from the release of additional Windows Sound Schemes in April, we've integrated the unique audio sounds from Microsoft Tinker into a new sound scheme.

Windows ® DreamScene (TM) Content Pack #4 Windows DreamScene Content Pack #4 which adds three additional nature-setting Windows DreamScenes.

Microsoft Tinker was developed for Microsoft as an Ultimate Extra by our Partner Fuel Industries.

Windows Ultimate Extras are only for Windows Vista Ultimate users and designed to add to their Windows experience. We will be shipping new Windows Ultimate Extras in the near future and will post additional information here on the blog when that occurs.

That sure sounds better than the meager drizzle of extras I recall.

I'm not much of a gamer. I do enjoy a good puzzle, though. Tinker is good stuff!

i still feel robbed

the wallpaper(s) are grainy as hell, and i don't quite care for tinker.
to each their own, i guess. i do like the holdem game though, but that's getting kinda old to me.



hmmmmm

@centurytel.net

well.....atleast you got dreamscenes to work for you....no amount of tinkering or new hardware would get it to work for me..

What a bunch of worthless crap.

Hey, Microsoft, how about porting over all the WinXP Power Toys instead of wasting lines of code on this junk?

That's to entice me to use WU? I don't do WU. Why are these extras not available at Microsoft Download site? Got to be just so Microsoft can get more folks to use WU. XP Power toys never had to be downloaded from WU. Just another reason to not use Vista. The one thing I like about Vista over XP is Speech Recognition. In every other way XP is still superior to Vista... and I don't have to use WU.

You'd think they would be looking to speed Vista up.... not slow it down!

I agree they should work on TweakUI for Vista
