The first Windows Ultimate Extras have popped. A bit buried, you’ll find Windows Ultimate Extras in the Windows Update applet under System Maintenance in the control panel. It has been empty until now:

BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool – a tool designed to simplify the process of setting up your computer to use BitLocker Drive encryption security features.

Language packs for Windows provides a multi-language interface so that you can install and use multiple languages on a single PC (for multi-lingual households or if you are learning a new language).

Secure Online Key Backup will allow you to store your BitLocker recovery password and EFS certificate on Windows Marketplace’s Digital Locker website so that you can access it from anywhere an Internet connection is available.

Hold Em Poker Game - I think you know what this is. Me? No games for me.

Promised soon is Windows DreamScene, an Extra that enables you to use looped, full-motion video as your desktop wallpaper instead of a static image!
