I thought I would get this new section started, I take no credit for creating these I?ve just hosted them for people to download.

Aurora

This was sent to me by a friend, I believe it was created by aeroxp.org

Bliss

This is from the Windows XP Bliss Screensaver by Microsoft, I converted it to a wmv file so it can be used in DreamScene.

This will let you use a screensaver as a desktop background, you carnt see the desktop icons with this though. It works in XP and Vista :)

The video files here wornt work with it though you need Vista Ultimate with the DremeScene extra for thise!

Would of been useful if you linked those :) Anyway... http://insanenutter.seifer402.com/misc/dreamscene/ ;)

Thaught i had lol, links work ok now! :D

If DreamScene is as good as it sounds, maybe one of these WMV HD sample clips will work as animated wallpaper?

One of the long 1080p ones actually kept crashing explorer for me. Ended up having to use a file browse window I opened from Task Manager to delete the video and stop it from getting applied. So there are limits, probably mostly on filesize :p

The WMV HD 1080p downloads of "Speed" and "Robotica" play fairly well on my now-average-performance system (which, suprisingly was graded at 4.3 on the Vista performance index):

Vista Ultimate RTM

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (Clawhammer) - Stock clocking & FSB

DFI LanParty UT nF4 SLI-D

(2) OCZ 512MB PC3200

eVGA GeForce 6800 GT-I

Sceptre X9WG NAGA-V 19" Widescreen (16:9, 1440x900)

I personnaly think that DreamScene is just fish bait to make pc users buy Vista ultimate cause I also think that Vista is not "rush to the doors" os to get, as MS would think that people will buy blinded eyes. Everyone I know will try Vista as "the upgrade that you get FREE when you buy a new PC". They are just not ready to quit using XP.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
