Vista Ultimate Team Shows Off New DreamScene Wallpaper



The group manager for Windows Vista Ultimate, Alex Kipman, has posted a new video of an upcoming DreamScene wallpaper. It features an animated version of the glowing back-lit orb wallpaper released two weeks ago.

The glowing back-lit Vista orb wallpaper was one of two Windows Vista Ultimate branded wallpapers released on the 8th of March. The popularity of these wallpapers was reflected through the download numbers, with nearly one hundred thousand downloads.

The main advantage of the new DreamScene wallpaper is that it features all the hallmarks of a great wallpaper: it looks good; isn't intrusive; and isn't branded. Hats off to Microsoft for doing such a great job.

It should also be noted that the increased transparency from the Ultimate team about their future plans is a very welcome change from the many years of complete secrecy, ever since the beta program. One can only hope that the future of Vista Ultimate Extras is not going to be countless years of DreamScene content packs.
