The desktopcollage premium dreamscene from stardock design uses less than 1% of one of my CPU cores power ever 30 seconds when a new picture is added to the background picture collage. This across two monitors and a 1080P television. When I run one of the stock dreamscenes like the orange plasma it uses a steady 3 to 4% of one CPU core. Being as I am only ever going to strain my processor in a 3d computer game (dreamscene and vista aero is disabled when games run) it doesn't matter.

I seek to be able to run my favorite Dreamscene DesktopCollage on my primary 16:10 aspect ratio monitor while on my secondary monitor I want to have either a different dreamscene or just a wallpaper. My secondary monitor is a 4:3 aspect ratio tilted sideways at a 90º angle for viewing web pages. My problem is that the DesktopCollege images are severely distorted on the secondary monitor. I've spent all afternoon seeking if this was possible. I've tried Ultramon, DisplayFusi
It will not be out in 3 years, it will be 5 or more. This way Microsoft can claim they do not have to have backwards compatible support more then 1 version of their various software suites. (example, vista only supports Office 2003 or the new 2007, those with xp/2000 of office are forced to purchase upgrades) Subscription based operating systems. HA! That would be the death of Microsoft to the common folk.
