I know you didn’t ask for my opinion, but I’m going to give it anyway. Windows Vista Ultimate Extras are a joke. One example, just check when the official Extras blog was last updated.*
* The last post was on 3/14/2007 for those who don’t feel like looking.
I was at a Microsoft Partner event back in 2007 where some people were upset that the Ultimate version of Vista was not included in the Action Pack. It looks like that is about to change, because I just got this email from the Microsoft Partner team. Here is an excerpt from it:
One full-install licence key for Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 for internal use, so you can learn more about this product’s benefits and features for customers who need a single PC to fulfil their work, travel and entertainment needs. We plan for this software to be delivered in your regular Action Pack quarterly update (April/May 2008).
I’m pretty happy about that. I just about fell for the buy one get one free offer they had offered to me earlier this year as a bonus for beta testing Windows Vista, but now I’m glad I didn’t.
It would appear like we might just see some good things coming from the Microsoft Surface team at this year’s CES. Although the team sure isn’t giving many clues. Its a bummer I can’t be there, I would love to have my hands on one of those.
This picture is pretty impressive in my opinion.

I’m noticing that a certain self-made computer technician, audio book freak, theologian,  and ipod winner has been by far the most frequent commenter on my posts. (or he the only one?) Anyway, mega props to you, Mr. Mike Fisher. Its hard for me to image someone would stoop to such depths as to post a comment on my blog. If I was rich, I might offer you a prize. 
Happy New Year!
