Run DreamScene on any version of Windows Vista
Some of the biggest differences between Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate have to do with encryption, security, and data backups. But there are also a few useless but fun visual effects that you don't get in cheaper versions of Vista. For example, DreamScene is only available in Vista Ultimate.
DreamScene lets you run a movie in a constant loop on your desktop and looks pretty friggin cool, while sucking up your PC's resources.
Pretty nice looking, right? But probably not worth dropping the money on a Vista upgrade. Well, now you don't have to. If you're willing to much around with your windows system files, you can install a patched version of DreamScene that will let you run animated backgrounds on any version of Windows Vista, even Vista Basic.

You are also able to do this with the open source VLC player. Discovered the feature the other night and am now using it to watch videos on my desktop while i work in a smaller window...

You just click the Video menu for VLC, and then select Wallpaper.

With VLC, you can do this in XP too. It works well.

I have had this capability with my ati AIW video and win98se for years. Not that i use it. Who has time to sit and look at the desktop? I am busy running programs, not letting my pc play tv.
