Just a quick heads-up that if you're running Windows Vista Ultimate edition, you can now download the preview of Windows DreamScene. It's in Ultimate Extras (type 'ultimate' in the Start menu search bar to get to it).

Once you've downloaded it, right-click your desktop, click 'personalize' then 'desktop background' and then select Windows DreamScene Content from the Location bar. You can also browse to video in your video folder and have one of those looping on your desktop, too!

It looks great but does seem to use about 10% on my core duo.
I thought it was supposed to use no processor but its only a preview version.
I also downloaded the stardock app theres a few nice backgrounds. I'd suggest anybody who has the ultimate package to download both apps.
