As disclosed and confirmed by multiple sources: One of the new UI features
being added to Windows Vista during the blackout time leading to RTM is
currently known internally as "Motion Desktop" and could very easily retain
this title as its final name. It will allow for the end user to run an
animated or interactive desktop wallpaper to complement the UI already
present in Windows Vista. The Vista SKUs which will contain this new feature
along with the degree of customizability the end user will see in creating
his own Motion Desktop are as yet unknown. More details as I have them.

Internal discussions seem to suggest that interactive Motion Desktops should
be able to integrate with relative ease into various Windows Live services,
and one can expect third-party and first-party Motion Desktops to be
displayed on a Live gallery similar to what is currently in use for sidebar
and live gadgets.

Update (10-24-06): As confirmed by Paul Thurrott, Motion Desktop will be an
Ultimate Extras feature only, and it will be rolled out in January 2007, and
will not be much different from running a screensaver as a wallpaper
(similar to Long's screensaver application) as internally confirmed by
Michael.
