Shortly after the release of Windows Vista last year, Stardock introduced DeskScapes to users of Windows Vista Ultimate which added featured like dynamic .dreams, triggered .dreams, etc. We also launched Dream.WinCustomize.Com which is the official site to find more animated wallpapers (.dreams) for use with DeskScapes. Later, we launched DeskScapes 2.0 which brought the ability for nearly all Vista users to have animated wallpapers on their desktops.

However, the one comment we always get is “I want to use these on XP”. That was always an issue because Vista had much more resources available to make animated wallpapers more feasible, but with the advancement of video drivers and the technology behind Stardock DeskScapes…..

I’m happy to say to Windows XP users that DeskScapes 2.5 will bring .dreams to your desktop!

quit your bitching. this is what happens to all technology. all "first and new adopters" always feel this way. if it did not trickle down, then the PC that your using would still be a 386/33 with 8MB or ram, maxed out, running windows 3.1 none the less.

hell, both Devrexter any myself found ways to bypass the "vista only" and make it work for XP.

again. get over it. suck it up. STFU and just just live with it.

I'm the goddamn Batman.

just, get over it, people will allways find useful ways to backport things to older systems. is a fact of life.
and no, i did not make dreamscapes, but i did make a player that will put video as your wallpaper.

That really has nothing to do with DeskScapes, as it's not DreamScene. DeskScapes brings enhanced features like dynamic and triggered .dreams, etc., things you won't find by just using a video as a background.
