Microsoft: No Ultimate Extras for Windows 7
And the crowd…goes…wild. Seriously, I remember saying how bogus the Extras were going to be before Vista, and boy did Microsoft let everyone down there. Good to know they’re at least learning from their mistakes.
Our new approach to planning and building Windows doesn’t have the
capacity to continue to deliver features outside the regular release
cycle. While our core development team is focused on building the next
release, our sustained engineering team is focused on updates to
existing features. As a result we don’t plan to create Ultimate Extras.
