Holy Cow, Microsoft has shipped the final version of Windows DreamScene as the Ultimate team notes on its blog. If you are a Windows Ultimate subscriber it should be available from Windows Update sometime today, if not already. Barry Goffe the director of Ultimate admits to missing the summer timeline in the post and blames the delay of the Language Pack on an unacceptably high number of failures.
The team plans to address the failures and make the 19 remaining language packs available by the end of October, and at that time will divulge it future plans for Extras.
In addition to the remaining Language Packs, we plan to ship a collection of additional Windows Ultimate Extras that we are confident will delight our passionate Windows Vista Ultimate customers. We will shed more light on these plans once the Language Packs are finally dislodged from our delivery pipeline!
The shipping of DreamScene has bought Microsoft some precious time, but for an audience that already feels burned it is only a precious little amount of time. I would encourage that team to think outside the box and deliver some additional content or license some content from its partner Stardock for the October release cycle as very few people care about the Language packs.
