Vista full motion desktop
Microsoft at CES : Full Motion Desktop
Hmm, this is actually interesting — using video as your desktop “picture”. A common desktop environment is fully static, with the icons and desktop image just sitting there. I don’t believe that you really want to have your kids videos on desktop, too much distraction and no potential for continuous loop, but a professionally produced subtle animation might actually contribute something to your “work ambiance”. You could choose desktop animation depending on the mood and pace you need to be in, whether it’s subtle contemplation or processing things at a high pace. Perhaps accompanied also by some ambiance music, if you don’t want to play stuff from your personal media playlist.

Nice feature, but Im not sure I’m going to use it anyway.. more like media desktop eyecandy
Setting a movie as your desktop background has been available for a pretty long time already. For instance BSPlayer used to be able to do that.
On OSX you can download nifty little app that can set your screensaver as the desktop background - very nice actually, especially if you use one of the OSX default screensavers. Of course I’ve forgotten the name for the app
how do you enable it if you have vista ultimate?
