Afternoon all,
Given I found the Seven Forums so useful with my W7 Ultimate I thought I'd make this my first port of call before upgrading.
I'm wondering if Windows 8 does native video screensavers (not desktop backgrounds/Dreamscene (Vista users may remember))? I can't find anything about it on the web and on W7 you can get it via Windows Live Essentials but is very reliant on WEI not bugging out on you.
Basically I run four videos on rotation as my screensaver and would be annoyed to lose the ability if I upgrade. Also with the planned merge of Live Messenger into Skype I'm suspecting the rest of Live Essentials will be canned ...
Anyone know or able to check this? Or like Live Gallery you just point the "Gallery" screensaver to the videos?
