Yes Zubaz I understand that, it was more me saying that since people will be able to run Deskscapes 2 on any version of Vista (I am correct in that, right) that along with all the other Vista enhancements this would probably get somemore people upgrading.

i would assume it`s free to everyone same as it is to ultimate users.

I agree & disagree at the same time. I upgraded to ultimate for other reasons but the dreamscene was definitely an added plus! I do think that it would be a good thing for everyone to be able to have the animated wallpapers though, because more people would get involved & we'd have more to choose from.

Anyway, my dad happened to have Ultimate available, so Deskscapes just came as a plus, but now I can put dreams on all of my family's computers!

Specifically:
Bit of interesting background, the implementation of an animated desktop feature in Windows Vista was actually first developed by Stardock. They then demonstrated the idea to Microsoft who partnered with them to produce the Ultimate Extra, DreamScene along with a batch of its original content. Stardock then shifted its focus on DeskScapes - a free extension to DreamScene which allowed for dynamic renderings instead of just static video, as well as a community to share user-generated Dreams.
As you might the same question I asked when I first heard about this, how Microsoft will ever approve of this? It’s basically slicing a huge portion of the already miniature Ultimate Extras cake to share with everybody. But it turns out Microsoft is fully aware of this release and Stardock’s involvement in the original Dreamscene is only as a content-provider.
