• Vista Ultimate victims get sucker-punched again

    Did you pay for Vista Ultimate?

    We’ve known for quite some time that Vista Ultimate users who want to perform an in-place upgrade (which I don’t recommend) can only upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. There are good technical reasons why that’s so, but it’s still quite an expensive slap in the face.

    Now you’ll be pleased to know that the only games ever released exclusively under the Vista Ultimate Extras program are about to be made available to everybody, free. Microsoft’s Games for Windows site has the details. Except, of course, Vista Ultimate isn’t mentioned anywhere on the page.

    Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.
