In Vista, the default wallpaper had a moving dreamscene version of it, so I expect that this default fish picture will have a moving one hidden for the final release I guess.
I am sure that a huge amount of people will buy Windows 7 only by seeing that fish moving on a display screen at some shop; people love this stuff, hick, I love it!
I don't think any of the backgrounds will be permanent. From Beta 1 of Vista through to RC1, maybe RC2, it had the same backgrounds. Upon release, they were all switched. This version of Windows 7 includes the "Light Aura" backgrounds that were included in the betas of Vista.
@ tigs- lolz a beta fish, u can make moving backgrounds I can do it, u just make an animated GIF and set it as ur wallpaper, I've done it before and it works

Does that fish swim on the desktop?
I sure hope so
No it doesn't. Not until a dreamscene background appears.
It would be nice...but no. :-(

That's a Betta fish.
Maybe for the final release there will be a Gold fish.
Only in the more expensive "Fish" edition. Otherwise you get a frozen static picture of a tin can of sardines.
Not if you have only 4GB of RAM. You'll need at least 8GB to see it moving.

When Windows Update crashes does it turn upside-down and float at the top of the screen?
Blast, 'free the fish' isn't working.
Did they kill the fish? Where's my fish?
no, but the sushi chef that comes on later makes for a tasty treat
I believe you can get the moving one if you buy the Ultimate/Profesional Edition. Home/Premium Edition we are just second class.
This topical fish is not friendlt at all.
It fights!
Has anyone fed this?
