Earlier today, Nick and Barry announced the release of the Ultimate Extra Windows DreamScene. Windows DreamScene lets Windows Vista Ultimate users choose full-motion video as their desktop wallpaper.

After installing the final release of Windows DreamScene, I was prompted to download the Windows DreamScene Content Pack Favorites. With Windows DreamScene, you get a standard set of 4 DreamScenes to use on your desktop. The Windows DreamScene Content Pack adds 4 more new DreamScenes for your desktop. Here is a video I created of my desktop PC running several of the new DreamScenes:

Video: Windows DreamScene Released - New DreamScenes

The glowing Windows Vista orb can be downloaded as a Windows Vista Ultimate wallpaper at the Windows Ultimate website. The glowing Windows Vista orb DreamScene is my favorite. The waterfall DreamScene was shown off during the demos at CES last January.

On top of the Windows DreamScene Content Pack Favorites - you can also download (and share) "dreams" over on Stardock's Dream Gallery.

What is your favorite Windows DreamScene?

I repeatedly have this dream that microsoft develops other ultimate extras to justify the ultimate extra amount of money everyone spent on vista ultimate, ultimately.

I'm really confused. Where do you get the Glowing Windows Vista orb DreamScene? Is there a different content pack than the one released in July?

Also got the BSOD with the latest Nvidia drivers on Dual 8800 Ultras.

To All: The Windows DreamScene Content Pack Favorites should be available via Windows Update after installing the FINAL release of Windows DreamScene. It includes the glowing Windows Vista Orb. The glowing Windows Vista Orb, and other DreamScenes shown in the video - are not available for separate download.

Rufguy, yes the Windows DreamScene Content Pack Favorites is different than the one released with the DreamScene Technical Preview months ago.

Ultimate Extras are only available to users of Windows Vista Ultimate.

Those who choose a less legal route have gotten it to run on Home Premium and Business editions... y'know, pirates getting a better product than paying customers is starting to get annoying. :(

jewright, after installing the final version of DreamScene from Windows Update and your PC reboots - once you log back into Windows Vista you need to run Windows Update again to see the Windows DreamScene Content Pack Favorites listed.

First off, I want to congratulate Barry and the Windows Ultimate team for finally stepping in the right
