Looks like Microsoft has finally commented on the much criticized Ultimate Extras

“We want to let our Windows Vista Ultimate customers know that we are actively working to deliver the remaining Extras that we identified in January. Our goal is to provide the highest-quality, most secure and reliable offerings, and as a result we are continuing our work on these offerings. We apologize for taking so long to provide a status update to customers.”

Neowin says, “Microsoft intends to ship Windows DreamScene and the remaining 20 Language Packs by the end of the summer. The company also confirmed the ultimate extras team expect to disclose a schedule of further Extras releases after the release of DreamScene and the remaining 20 language packs.”
