Microsoft has been hard at work trying to bundle a set of special goodies to reward people who shelled out the cash for Vista Ultimate, such as Dreamscene, a bundle of animated wallpapers that uses Vista's advanced compositing display engine.

Well, the hackers have been hard at work dissecting how Dreamscene works and have come up with a method to run the program under any version of Windows Vista, whether it be a Business edition or just Home Basic.

For those with a lot of time on their hands, a manual install method is also available.
