Windows Vista Ultimate only bonus function What is "Windows DreamScene"?

Although it is Windows Vista which is released from the end of this month, its top version "Windows Vista Ultimate" has a bonus feature called "Windows DreamScene" as a special function different from other versions. What you can do is to use the HD class MPEG or WMV format movie as wallpaper. Even if it is just that, existing software is also possible, but the point is that the movie playback is left to the GPU, that is, the graphic board. This has succeeded in drastically reducing the CPU occupancy rate. Or, I guess there is a premise that GPUs should be something like that if the top-level version of "Windows Vista Ultimate" works.

So, let 's see how it feels like the movie actually moves as wallpaper.
From the bottom of the page below you can download a movie recording the state of motion.
