What are ultimate extras?
Before Windows Vista launched, Microsoft promised that the most feature packed SKU of Windows Vista would be regularly enhanced with features available only to customers with the Ultimate Edition.
All of the currently available Ultimate Extras except the Dream Scene content pack launched on January 30th with the operating system.

Thoughts:
The last time we heard from the Ultimate Extras team was on March 13th. I don't think most of the fans/customers are upset about the lack of new extras, but rather the lack of communication from the team before yesterday. Microsoft was targeting the enthusiast with this feature and enthusiasts don't expect complete silence from a developer after they start a public blog. A few minor status updates like yesterdays over the past few months would have helped avoid some of the current bitterness.

Barry has started the team in the right direction with regards to satisfying the enthusiasts, just keep open lines of communication. I'm personally looking forward to the final version of Microsoft Group Shot. So I'll give the team four more weeks benefit of a doubt to see if they can continue to keep open lines of communication with us. Oh and use those blogs on that site team, why have individual blogs if nobody writes to them? On this site I shut down the team member blogs because we have a hard enough time getting content on the main page without trying to fill a few side blogs.

I hope they don't ruin (by letting it turn to abandonware) the Ultimate Extras program, over the projected life for Windows Vista there is plenty of time for this group to shine. The other good thing about this is, if the team gets their act together, the Anytime Upgrade program will allow anyone to upgrade to experience any new must have Ultimate Extras if they surface.
