A forum member over at WinBeta snatched up what appears the box art for a Microsoft Plus! Pack designed for Vista. It was taken from an online Canadian store, called Future Shop, who has since removed the listing from their site. It was priced at $39.99 Canadian dollars, and the release date posted was February 15, 2008. The box says that it includes “four casual games enhanced for Windows Vista” developed by Mumbo Jumbo.
The Microsoft Plus! packs have been released for almost every consumer version of Windows since Windows 95. Often times they include things like games, themes, screensavers, and some small applications. I think that everyone expected Microsoft to retire the Plus! packs with the release of Vista Ultimate Extras, but I guess that’s not the case.
So maybe this is what the Ultimate Extras team has been up to instead of delivering those extra apps all of the Vista Ultimate users eagerly await? Maybe Microsoft will offer these for free to Vista Ultimate users? Who knows anymore.
Who cares anymore.
I’d imagine people that paid money looking forward to receiving Ultimate Extras care quite a damn bit, Mr. Google.
There are plenty of people who care. People who could see this as the straw that breaks the camels back. I’m actually one of those people, and if Microsoft lets me down with this I would consider moving over to a Mac. It’s a matter of them following through on what they say.
You get what you pay, Microsoft came up with nothing put “promises for Windows Vista Ultimate” but nothing real. Hate to sound like a Apple Fanboy but I’m done with Microsoft at this point (at least on the software front.) I’ve had enough of there crap they shovel out.
*Just to note I did purchase windows vista ultimate for my PC.
So does that mean your only a Mac user now, or are you talking about when you get a new computer?
I have a imac and a Windows laptop. I purchased the laptop 4 months before I got the imac. I payed for a upgrade to Windows Vista only to find out there was nothing ultimate about it… It was the last time I wanted to deal with Microsoft.
