Windows DreamScene Released

Wednesday, Sep. 26 2007 | Author: Drew

DreamScene, the Windows Vista Ultimate add-on that changes your background from a static image to a full-motion video, is now available.

In conjunction with Stardock, we’re pleased to also offer a number of cool, new animated DreamScene desktops, including “Aurora”. Additionally, you can use your own videos as DreamScene desktops or visit Stardock’s Dream.WinCustomize.com website to download Stardock’s DeskScapes (an add-on to DreamScene) as well as a collection of fabulous content created by Stardock and members of the Ultimate community.

I’m really interested to see how the public responds. I can’t decide if it will be very cool, or if it will get very annoying after a while.

It’s about damn time for them to start delivering these Vista Ultimate programs. Even if they are as “useless” as thie one.

I have had dreamscene working on my ultimate box now for a couple months, i run a dual monitor setup off an 8800 gtx not sure if it was some type of a bug but everytime i launched a full screen game my box would blue screen. seemed like a cool feature but i could never use it

Freakin’ retarded if you ask me! About the only people who would like this is games and power users (being that they are probably the only ones who would ever buy Vista Ultimate in the first place!). Given the fact that Vista causes drops in frame rates with games as it is, why on Earth would you get something that would cause them to drop even more? It’s like buying a Porsche to haul a boat trailer…lots of fluff without any real substance or practicality.

Maybe because it pauses when applications are full screen, so it wouldn’t affect games as it is. ;)

Ah…good point! Still…can’t imagine that the overhead is good. I just don’t think this sort of thing is all that useful. Very much a “Look what I can do” kind of thing to impress people with. That’s about it.
