The Windows Vista Ultimate team has just posted an update on how things are going. I don't think I can really claim credit for pushing them into it but it's helpful none the less.

Sadly it's not really that exciting. DreamScene is now finished, it must have been the Beta that I tried out a couple of months ago. It's a fun gimmick, but that's all as far as I'm concerned. It also has the problem of making the computer work harder and so drawing more power.

There is some interesting feedback about DreamScene on the Channel 9 forums. Apparently there are problems when using more than one graphics card. Not a great thing for the sort of power user likely to have splashed out on Ultimate.

Other comments reveal that DreamScene pauses if a program maximises. Makes sense from a performance point of view but defeats the point of DreamScene if you have two monitors.

The only other updates planned are language packs. On the other hand, I did get to grips with Poker thanks to Ultimate Extras....
