windows update visual

Hi all.

Why is windows update visually different on my two pc's? There both
running Windows Vista Ultimate with sp2, all important updates/security
patches applied.

On one system it looks like the traditional update pane, and the second
pc, there colored yellow and blue bars down the side (one color for
updates, and blue for extras panes)

This is the first time I noticed this.. so was wondering why.

Hi,

The blue shows up in Ultimate where there are "extras" available, but not in
other versions.
