Slightly few hours before the official launch, Microsoft’s switched on the official Windows Vista Ultimate (PRODUCT) RED website and Dell (PRODUCT) RED PC website. Have a look through to see some of the special extras included in Vista Ultimate (RED) as well as check out the Dell (RED) PCs. Robert McLaws has a higher-resolution screenshot of what the exclusive wallpapers look like. Bear in mind all this comes at no extra cost to the consumer, but it can make a life-changing difference for someone else in the world.
Update: Dell’s (PRODUCT) RED website has also been switch on, although obviously not completely updated.

You get what you want.
People get what they need.
Windows Vista Ultimate users get… what they deserve?
Pah!
wojtekmaj
Wooow this wallpapers are awesome!
Kevin
Stealing the wallpapers and distributing them is pretty amoral in this case.
redfish
The wallpapers included are definitely better than anything that shipped with Vista.
Please, MS, ship wallpapers this nice in Windows 7
Nicko
@Kevin – not sure about amoral, but immoral maybe.
Peter
Too bad it’s not available for Australia (again).
Ryan
Yea, please share the wallpapers if you can find them. Thanks.

@Those of you who want the wallpapers: You should be ashamed of yourselves! Stealing software is one thing, but stealing from a charity/ dying kids is another. I refer you to office space:

I don’t think, I don’t think I’m explaining this very well. Um, this
Seven Eleven, right? If you take a penny from the tray -
JOANNA
From the crippled children?!
PETER
No, that’s the tray. I’m talking about the tray. The penny’s for
everybody.
JOANNA
Oh, for everybody. Ok.
You’re talking about stealing pennies from the crippled children. Nice. Classy dude.

But – yesterday it was in official flip 3d on microsoft site,
Today is in reduced resolution screenshot
And tomorrow it’ll be original versions

I agree with Kevin and Nicko, it isn’t cool to share this time, because those extras are meant to incite people to buy this RED version.
On the other hand, this is a demonstration of nicely done wallpapers… now there’s an idea for an Ultimate Extra!

“@Those of you who want the wallpapers: You should be ashamed of yourselves! Stealing software is one thing, but stealing from a charity/ dying kids is another.”
They still look nice.

Pardon my French, but What the Fuck are you people on about? Spreading these wallpapers would, if anything, help spread awareness about the idea. Do you people honestly think ANYONE would think twice about buying this product because the wallpapers are available for free? The whole point is that you give to charity – out of charity, and the (RED) brand is your way of signaling that you care and want to spread awareness – it is not a prize you get for spending money.
Ryan
Indeed. They’re just damn wallpapers. Not like they’re Windows builds. You’re as bad as the idiots claiming WIndows7’s screenshots to be fake. Get off your high horses.

Unfortunately, the (Product)RED laptops at Dell *do* cost more than the standard models. A similarly configured XPS M1330 costs roughly $850 more in a (Product)RED configuration than non-(Product)RED system. Seems to me Dell could have been gracious and just taken $50 less profit on their systems. Bone-headed move by Dell.

Some other (RED) desktop wallpaper:
