Windows DreamScene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_DreamScene), a utility that allows videos to be used as desktop backgrounds. DreamScene supports .mpeg and .wmv video formats. During the last week of September 2007, Microsoft released the final version of DreamScene and announced availability of hundreds of animated backgrounds hosted at partner Stardock's Web site (http://dream.wincustomize.com/). Update packs of additional DreamScenes were released on April 22, 2008, and on September 24, 2008.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Ultimate_Extras#cite_note-windowsvistablog.com-2)
BitLocker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker_Drive_Encryption) and EFS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encrypting_File_System) Enhancements, two tools (Windows BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool and Secure Online Key Backup) that facilitate the use of security features in Windows Vista.
Hold 'Em (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_%27Em_%28Windows%29) Poker Game, a version of Texas hold 'em (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_hold_%27em).
Various MUI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilingual_User_Interface) language packs, add-ons that allow Windows to be displayed in another language.
Windows Sound Schemes, three extra sound packs (Ultimate Extras Glass, Pearl & Tinker-based sounds) that can be used instead of the Windows Default sound scheme released on April 22, 2008 and September 23, 2008.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Ultimate_Extras#cite_note-windowsvistablog.com-2)
Microsoft Tinker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Tinker), a 60 level puzzle game in which the player controls a robot through various mazes and obstacle courses.



Basically that. It's nothing too different, I run Ultimate at school, premium at home.
