If you’ve seen the Microsoft CES 2007 presentation you’ll have noticed the cool new video desktop feature. This a available as free update for Vista Ultimate users. The Preview version of Dream scene was released yesterday.
DreamScene supports WMV and MPG video files. It only comes with one sample video file (not the one from CES that is sold by Corbis) with subtle movements making it suitable for desktop background use. WinCustomise.com have made a DreamScene enhancement that allows it to support the newly created .dream files. You can also download about 15 videos on the site.
Lots of forums are getting floods of requests for HD or DreamScene suitable video. Some good ones can be found here. There is definitely a market out there for a company to sell high-quality DreamScene desktops.
If you have Vista Ultimate do a Windows update and look for an optional Ultimate Extra called DreamScene Preview.
Some DreamScene videos in action:
This video demos not only dream scene but also windows sidebar Gadgets, Vista Aero effects, Flip3D, Windows media player 11, Vista image preview and more.
Comments welcome - you don't have to agree :)

Although originally designed to document my work and new web development tricks I learnt it has expanded to cover tech and news that I find interesting so in addition to tutorials and interviews expect to see product reviews and tech news too. If you enjoy please comment. David
