I only recall reading a snippet about it on Engadget yesterday, and they were confused about the title as well. Apparently the box art they saw was from a Canada online estore, and the box lists capabilities being a part of it that are base functions of Vista Ultimate. So.. color me confused until we can get more information on it.

Anyone have any more details ? - Released date Feb 15th

The accompanying text doesn't make sense though because they are regular Vista features if you have Home Premium or higher. They either got hoaxed or Future Shop didn't have the right info displayed.

Sure it makes sense.
It is designed to add MC and Aero capabilities to the BASIC version (among other things). I doubt we'll see any additional functionality as far as Home Premium and/or Ultimate is concerned.
All of these things were missing from the BASIC version.

No, no, no. That's the sales text from Vista Home Premium. Whatever is in that garbage Plus! Pack will not add any Home Premium features to Vista Home Basic.

According to this:

The Vista Plus Pack is basically just additional games....much like the previous Plus Packs.
