  For all you Win7 users wanting more Wallpapers are wondering why you only have South African Wallpapers. Here's a solution for you!
  When you browse to C:\Windows\Globalization\ you will not find the MCT folder. It is what they call a "Super Hidden Folder". You can use the "Run" command to go to C:\Windows\Globalization\MCT\
  In this directory you'll find all the Regions. Within each region you will find a "Themes" folder. just double-click on the theme file in it to activate it.
  
  Another thing that is missing from Windows 7 is Dream Scene (Utility to make videos your wallpaper). You can however download the file from here :
  and use the steps supplied to enable it.

  Indeed, you can see DreamScene in the background in 1st and 4th of my VirtualBox report-back post above. I was using the Exotic Plasma wallpaper.
  
  Currently, I'm using AnotherEarthDream. Its free to download from the DreamScapes website (140mb).
  
  But I didn't know about the extra themes - thanks !wave

  Be warned - its a bit buggy in it's current state. However, I recommend that you also install StarDock DreamScapes (the free version, around 40mb). This will allow you to install .dream files as wallpapers. These files offer more advanced / interesting animated wallpapers. One of the included .dream files is the Exotic Plasma one that I spoke of - I think you'll enjoy it.
  
  There are plenty of .dream files to to find and install for free from the web :)

  More Windows 7 info! Don't complain Hawk, Windows 7 was just released yesterday - expect there to be a lot of buzz / threads
  
  If you'd like to upgrade your current version of Windows to Windows 7, but are confused about your options, allow Microsoft to confuse you further with this "Upgrade Chart":
