Tiny—that is what Windows Vista Ultimate Extras are about. Microsoft is pouring water on fire by saying they are releasing an app for the extras, they have also cleared that Microsoft isn’t dishing the extras as misunderstood on the new Vista Ultimate page.

Only 2 percent of companies in Europe have upgraded to Windows Vista? Let’s just say, 98 percent of companies in Europe will soon become a cash cow for Microsoft via their Windows Vista product—that sounds better.
