There are a few new toys here for Vista users.
Windows DreamScene:
Your desktop background comes to life with Windows DreamScene. When you download this Ultimate Extra, you can select a video for your desktop background the same way you select a stationary picture. You can choose one of the high-quality looping videos that we’ve included, or use a video from a company that produces content for DreamScene. You can even use your own video as a background.
BitLocker and EFS Enhancements:
This Ultimate Extra includes two tools that make it easier to use some of the security features that come with Windows Vista Ultimate: The Windows BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool, which configures your hard drive so that you can use the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature of Windows Vista, and Secure Online Key Backup, a utility that stores a backup copy of your BitLocker recovery password and Encrypting File System (EFS) recovery certificates in your digital locker, a secure Microsoft website.
This Windows Ultimate Extra adds a popular poker game to your Windows Vista gaming experience. Hold ‘Em sets you against the computer for no-limit poker fun. Hold ‘Em may cost you time, but your money is safe because the chips are not real.
There aren’t any download links on the page yet but there is an RSS subscription available.

Vista Ultimate Extras - DreamScene Now Available For Download - Preview Only Vista Ultimate Extra has made available the PREVIEW release of DreamScene for download for those who have the Ultimate Edition of Vista. Why Microsoft is releasing a Preview instead of the full versions in unknown. So I fired up Vista Ultimate and downloaded DreamScene Preview. Plus a few other updates were available as well. To get DreamScene working you need to go to Control Panel - Personalization - Desktop Background and from the drop down menu select Windows DreamsScene Content, which currently is only one [1] single mpg clip about 23.5MB in size. And you need to select how the picture should be position at the bottom of your screen. Click the OK button and your set. WOW ! More eye candy. The background now moves in a flowing form - animation. One of the options in the Sidebar I have selected was a monitor for CPU and RAM. After setting DreamScene up, I noticed that CPU was hovering from 10 to 34% while DreamScene was functioning. Which lasted all of about 5 minutes. IMHO - I don’t like it. I went back to my static background.
