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.
