		<description>Sorry for digging up dinosaurs here, but this is indeed static wallpaper, and is present in at least the RTM version of Windows Vista Ultimate.  It is indeed very busy, but it&#039;s still wallpaper.

If anything I would expect that any animated background would be far LESS busy than this, or it would be too distracting to work on when you have transparent windows.</description>

		<description>Why the fuss over an animated wallpaper. Beside the fact that it would pull undue resources off other more important tasks, it would become highly distracting (especially once the &quot;novelty factor&quot; wore off). I&#039;d rather see MS get everything running A1 than focusing on such silly little details.</description>

		<description>[...] Long Zheng cura un eccellente blog, dove di recente ha ventilato la possibilità che il nuovo sistema operativo Microsoft nasconda, in pertugi innominabili, caratteristiche di sicuro interesse per i patiti delle inutilities. Per la cronaca, con inutilities si intendono quelle che oltreoceano sono note come bells &amp; whistles, ovvero features perfettamente irrilevanti che tuttavia fanno la differenza fra l&#8217;austera interfaccia predefinita di Slackware e l&#8217;orgia grafica di Mac OS X. Sfondi, screensavers, scombombulatori, stupidari rotanti, suoni di sistema et similia sono tipici esempi di bells &amp; whistles, gli stessi che fanno inorridire i puristi delle piattaforme *nix e mandano in solluchero pressochè tutti gli altri. Di un presunto Desktop Aurora si vocifera da tempo fra corridoi e angoli più o meno in ombra dei newsgroups, riferendosi con questo nome al sospetto che Windows Vista possa comparire sugli scaffali con un lussuoso desktop tridimensionale animato. Chi ancora ricorda bene la raccapricciante implementazione di Active Desktop ai tempi di Windows 98 avrà già le mani in viaggio verso l&#8217;inguine (le signore più in alto, prego) al solo pensiero. Soffro con voi. Un istante di smarrimento e un sottile terrore hanno colto anche me, perchè se la presenza di inutilities d&#8217;effetto in Windows Vista RTM è nota a tutti i beta tester, una réentrée di Active Desktop sotto mentite spoglie è temuta come la peste. Long Zheng ha il merito di aver martellato abbastanza a lungo e insistentemente da ottenere brandelli di risposta da insiders di buon cuore, al punto che si tende ormai a dare per scontata la presenza di una feature simile, quantomeno nel pacchetto Windows Ultimate Extras. Non contento, ha descritto una procedura per sperimentare l&#8217;effetto sull&#8217;attuale build di Windows Vista, alla quale un virtuoso di Channel 9 ha risposto con un tool a prova di idiota che in queste ora sta impazzando dietro le quinte. Chi arde dal desiderio di provarlo, sappia che funzionerà anche su Windows XP. [...]</description>

		<description>Im convinced Aurora is in there - Ive seen from earlier builds (5270? -cant remember) during the set up process that Aurora was not only there, but was fully animating! This happened once though as I&#039;ve never seen it again.</description>

		<description>And then they changed that policy with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Just look at Windows XP Service Pack 2. Heaps of new &#039;features&#039;</description>

		<description>You REALLY want the aurora desktop don&#039;t you?

I think it will come someday, but not in RTM. Maybe SP1?</description>

		<description>Oh, another thing I should note about this aurora in the icon, it is indeed more intense. More liquified, oily like pouring Crisco in a bottle.</description>

		<description>I just think its a pretty icon. The Computer icon has a nice blue background, but they didn&#039;t use that as a wallpaper, so I think its just a pretty icon. Also why would they advertise such a feature in the OS then make it an Ultimate Extra? My understanding is, UE is the replacement for Plus!, I don&#039;t remember seeing anything from Plus! for XP in XP unless you bought the Plus! software.

Still, lets hope, I wouldn&#039;t mind having a little surprise for RTM.</description>
