Remember Windows DreamScene? It’s one of the “Windows Ultimate Extras” that Microsoft promised for Windows Vista Ultimate users. DreamScene makes it possible to use video and other animations as desktop wallpaper. The first demo was shown months ago, but we haven’t heard much since then - until now. Finally, the team has provided an update:

Our goal is to provide the highest-quality, most secure and reliable offerings, and as a result we are continuing our work on these offerings. We apologize for taking so long to provide a status update to customers.

We intend to ship Windows DreamScene and the remaining 20 Language Packs by the end of the summer.

About time. DreamScene supports both MPEG and WMV video files, so start collecting your favorite videos now!
