Some things that you should know before you start using Windows DreamScene:

• Windows DreamScene supports only .mpeg and .wmv video file formats.
• Windows DreamScene video support requires a graphics card that supports Windows Aeroâ„¢.

For computers that do not support the Windows Aero desktop experience, this Extra still has something to offer: Windows DreamScene adds new positioning options for backgrounds, including stationary pictures.

Windows DreamScene is currently available only as a preview version, but many of you have chosen to install it. In recognition of your interest, we accelerated our schedule to release a Content Pack that contains four video backgrounds, which are now available on Windows Update.

The four videos are:

• A field of thistle, with a bee gathering pollen
• The rushing water of a forest stream
• A streetlamp reflected in a puddle, with softly falling rain
• Orange wisps flowing in a computer-generated scene

We’re offering these video backgrounds only to users who have installed the Windows DreamScene Preview. However, the Content Pack will continue to be available when the final version of DreamScene is released, so don’t worry about installing the preview just so you can obtain them. The preview version is an unsupported release; it is not appropriate for users who are uncomfortable with installing prerelease software. If you’ve installed the Windows DreamScene Preview, click Check for updates in Windows Update to see the Content Pack, which is offered as an Ultimate Extra.

We plan to release additional content sometime after the final version of Windows DreamScene is released. For now, enjoy these four videos, plus the “aurora� content that was installed

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we have some “customer love” for you. Windows DreamScene is in its final testing phase and we have made a pre-release version available to you through Windows Update.

This is the Extra that provides the functionality for you to select videos as your Windows desktop background, as demonstrated at CES. The new video feature requires a Windows Vista Ultimate-based computer that supports Windows Aeroâ„¢, but this Extra also offers new positioning options for all Windows Vista Ultimate-based computers, for both video and still images: new options that allow you to fit an image to your screen while preserving aspect ratio. In non-technical terms, this means you can fill your screen with an image of your cat, dog, child, or parent without distorting him or her like a fun-house mirror. You can find more information on our website, and several team members will be writing about Windows DreamScene in their blogs.

The fine print: We want to repeat that the final release is still to come. In Windows Update, this pre-release version is called Windows DreamScene Preview to highlight that this is not the final release. This release may not be appropriate for all users.
