Windows Fiji: Vista Ultimate 2.0

It is widely known that Microsoft plans to release an small upgrade to Vista before focusing on Vienna, currently known to us as "Windows Fiji". Fiji is however by no means a new OS, indeed it is simply an update to Vista Ultimate, when Vista SP1 will be released in the latter half of 2007, Ultimate users will be able to opt for Fiji instead. Whether this will be free of charge, like usuals service packs, is still not known.

Other than regular updates Fiji is slated to included:

- Ultimate Extras that have been made available for download
- A new photo manipulation tool, GroupShot
- A new music authoring tool, codenamed "Monaco" (unconfirmed)
- A major update to Media Center
- Internet Explorer 8
- HDView (Hi-Def Image Viewer)

- Windows Media Player 11.5 (support for HD content)
- PHLAT interface for Vista search
- Several minor tweaks to other applications

Most if lot all of the software and feature will eventually make its way to other versions of Vista (particularly Home Premium) so no need to get upset.
