"Windows DreamScene" showed up in my Ultimate Extras bar today... And it didn't say "Preview." Does this mean that Microsoft actually came through and released the final? Anyone else have it?

just checked and it's there as of yesterday... downloading it now 22.5MB

edit--- downloaded it and works fine here on my machine

Can you say whether CPU usage has gone up/down as a result of the final? My rig is in folding mode so the CPU cores are permanently occupied...

not sure... you can right click the desktop and pause it, so I'll play around with it later today... on my laptop working on some stuffs right now.

Also some new dreamscenes avaible if you check windows update again after installing dreamscene. There's one for the windows ultimate start wallpaper, was hoping to see one for the ultimate strands too.

A problem i had noticed in mine, try changing resolution and wait 5 mints, does explorer still crash in the final?

so I was playing Crysis Beta last night... Was fine till I exited the game... Once I exited it locked up and I got a BSOD... When I rebooted the PC it's like Dreamscene was never installed and my wallpapaer is gone (just black).

That happens, I've reset my computer more times than I can count (no BSoD though). "Windows DreamScene has encountered an error." If Explorer.exe is terminated "incorrectly," Windows will do this. You can click "Personalize" and manually go back into the DreamScene section of the control panel and turn it back on, or if you wait long enough (at least in my case) it will restart on its own.
