Vista Ultimate users Prepare to enjoy a new Dreamscene background ! This is produced by the Silverlight team. which by the way, is t a new Microsoft technology for creating programs that run in your web browser.

The new Windows Vista DreamScene background - a soothing blue affair with twirlingshapes, like a very low-key version of the Ribbons screensaver. It's not a proper Windows Vista Ultimate Extra, so it's not on Windows Update - you can download it from the Microsoft website.

Place the WMV files in your "\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene" directory of Windows Vista installation. Then just right-click on desktop and click "Personalize"... In the usual Desktop Background setting option, search for the WMV files and set it.

I think if Dreamscene is installed, then u get the option "Set as background" in video files context menu. ;)

Use Windows Update in Vista Ultimate. If your hardware supports DreamScene's requirement, it will show up in Windows Ultimate Extras group. Just select it and install, quite a big package with all the Videos in it.

I don't think the Videos are selectable as a separate unit, via Windows Update. Those bonus packs come as a single unit of 4 videos I suppose, leaving the default from this:

How nice of them to name the default with a 1337 :p

And no, they are pretty bad, you can notice them loop and they have bad quality. Not worth :)

What the hell! Why is this Widescreen video 16:9? When it comes to Widescreen on the PC, it is always 16:10....

Umm....not quite. Did you set the resolution properly? Widescreen is a standard which used 16:9 aspect ratio all over.

Well I played it with Windows Media player and it shows me tiny black bars at the top and bottom. Obviously 16:9

But when it comes to desktop resolutions, show me one desktop monitor with a 16:9 ratio...there are none.
