Windows Vista Launch and Windows DreamScene
And Stardock's animated wallpaper shown!
Monday, January 29, 2007 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
Microsoft officially introduced the world to Windows Vista today. Windows Vista is Microsoft's next generation operating system to replace Windows XP.
At the launch today (see video here), the major features of Windows Vista were demonstrated. One feature we here at Stardock are particularly proud of being part of is the Ultimate Extra called Windows DreamScene. DreamScene allows users to play high-definition video content as their animated wallpaper. Microsoft selected Stardock Design (official announcement coming soon) to create content for it including the one they demonstrated at the launch.
Stardock also has developed software for Windows DreamScene that extends the feature set even further -- to support dynamic content as well as a new format specifically for animated wallpapers (.dream files). The new program is called Stardock DeskScapes and will be released shortly.
Windows DreamScene is scheduled to be available for Windows Vista Ultimate Extras as a technology preview shortly after the Windows Vista Launch.
WinCustomize.com is the site Microsoft is sending users to obtain additional animated wallpaper content including "Evening Dream" which is what was shown at the launch (and will be available exclusively at WinCustomize.com). Users of Stardock Object Desktop will get the first crack at using Stardock DeskScapes.
More to come.
