Vista Ultimate Advantage
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007
Tonight at the Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft finally gave reason to spend $399 on Windows Vista Ultimate. Ultimate’s value 
has been hard to justify for the price. A few months ago, I did some comparisons to other products costing $399: PSP and Entertainment Pack (with $10 left over); or PSP Core and Nintendo DS Lite (with $21 left over); Xbox 360 Pro; 80GB iPod or Zune, with $50 left over for a case; 27 months of subscription music service with portable device transfers (at $15 a month); or 266 cups of Starbucks House Blend coffee (at $1.50 a cup).
Windows Ultimate comes with something called "Windows Ultimate Extras." Over the last couple months, I’ve checked from time to time for Extras to download, but Microsoft has offered none. During Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates’ CES keynote, the company revealed that it would release ongoing Vista enhancements through Windows Ultimate Extras.
