Re: Heh. #734. And "Animated Desktop".

There are/were Active Desktop based animated wallpapers, though I don't know if something based on AD could qualify as "good".

Vista and later (Ultimate only) has DreamScenes (looped WMV wallpapers). Stardock has an equivalent called DeskScapes that supports non-ultimate Windows.

Thanks to you and Greg for the info.

I've only used Vista briefly. I'm thinking about getting 7 for a dual-booted Hackintosh I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on. It looked like 7 Pro was the best match for my needs, so I haven't looked at Ultimate much. I'll take a look at it.

I've never used any of Stardock's Windows software, but I was one of their early ObjectDesktop for OS/2 customers. Brad was quite a salesman. ;-)

Thanks to you and Greg for the information. It's good to see that people have been moving things forward.

Cheers,
Scott.
