I just read on withinwindows that Desktop Slideshow, at least in build 6801, supports changing of the desktop wallpaper at intervals ranging from 10 seconds to 1 day. For a bit of variation, you can tick the Shuffle checkbox to have Windows 7 randomly pick a wallpaper for you. And to keep from sapping the life out of your laptop, you can choose to pause the slideshow when you’re on limited reserve. Think of this as Dreamscene, but without the ensuing nightmares.

For those of us that don’t have terabytes of imagery to keep your desktop fresh, you have a new source in the Picture location dropdown labeled Feeds.

Waits for the MAC fanboys to bust onto the thread

Who the f**k cares who came up with it first? If the users want it, add it. Plain and simple.

It's a great feature in Mac and it's great that it's coming to Windows now :)
