If you check on Windows Update you'll find a per-release version of
DreamScene for download. It ships with one video modeled off the default
wallpaper.

Awesome. I've been playing with the beta for a while, and it's great.

Thanks! It should make some people feel a little better thinking they got
ripped off because it didn't come with it...

If you go to Desktop Background there's a new location 'Windows DreamScene
Content', you'll find it there.

Hi Dustin, whats your CPU utilization like with video background
(butterfly)?

its sucking my Quad core dry! I realized as soon as the CPU fan (which
never comes on) started up at full speed. CPU's 1-3 ~15-20%, CPU 4 ~50%
utlisation with nothing else going on and no other apps loaded.

CPU goes back to normal when I change to static backdrop.

WMV will be heavier on the CPU than MPEGs will be. What's your CPU usage
like when playing the WMV anyway? It should be in the same sort of range.

WMV is 15-20% on CPU's 1-3 and ~50% on CPU 4 (this is a Quad proc QX6700).

MPEG is slightly less but not in the 2-3% range.

Plus theres no sound!

Hi!

Here is the exact location:

C:\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene

3 more to try :

C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos

Bye!

It's a "preview".
I think its purpose is to try to calm down the crowd that is ****ed at
Microsoft for heavily advertizing something as if it is readily available
while it's not.
