Not sure what the other posters are talking about. I have DeskScapes running on my laptop (nothing fancy) with no visible use of resources. From what I have read on their site it can also depend on the type of wallpaper you are using.
This is a cool app, I recommend it.

WOW what a resource hog. I don't have the fastest/newest PC (Q6600 running at 3Ghz with 4gig ram) but this thing slowed even my web browsing down NOTICEABLY.

What a waste of money and a resource hog.

Why would anyone want this? Let alone pay for it?

Fantastic app! I was missing my animated wallpapers in Windows 7, and now I can have them back, plus some!

It's a nice program if you have the horsepower to run it.

NOT FREE - as soon as you install it, it states you must upgrade to the pay version to get more deskscapes. I removed it, deleted the folder, and reinstalled the previous version (which had no such limitations) and now I also have the new deskscapes also.

Very nice program, does not seem to use much power at all, and works great.

just a quick note. this does not require vista ultimate. it has been made for any version of vista, try reading there information on there web page. any version of windows vista whether you have dreamscene or not. besides you want dreamscene, can get the hacked version from a simple search on google that can be used on any version of vista. gave it a 5. it runs very nicely.

I found DeskScapes really good to use. If only I could find more compatible .dream files. The unoffical, aka people created mpeg, wmv dreams, etc, do drain my cpu, even if it isn't supposed to, trust me I've seen it. I compared it to the boring dream you get with deskscapes and it doesn't do that..... myth or truth.. truth in fact!
Overall, great program but need more 'real' dreams :D I found this works very well with my 6600GT.

If you don't have Vista Ultimate & you can't run this prog, then why review it? Geeezz. It does not hog resources or slow your sys down. It uses your video card to render dynamic content & animation on your desktop for the new .dream format in Ultimate. Vista Ultimate people...& we know who we are, we would of paid for it anyway...this is just a great big bonus in Desktop Custimization. With Vista ReadyBoost my laptop with 2g Ram + my 2g Cruzer Titanium gives me 4 Gigs. It's Vista....it was built for this. Please know the facts before you open your mouth. Excellent Program.
