Some things sound better in concept than they are in actuality. The beta MSN Wallpaper application is sort of like that. Here's the description from their website: "From dramatic landscapes to sleeping puppies, action sports to clips from your favorite Xbox games, you'll find the wallpapers that suit you." I found very few that suited me. At first glance, I thought that most of them had an obvious movie or game tie-in. There are darn few "vistas" in the collection. Out of 265 wallpapers, only about thirty were not promotional. I was hoping for some images like those included with the Windows 7 beta, but they are not in this package. Instead there's Wall-E, Lord of the Rings Conquest, and a lot of unaffordable MSN cars. If this "suits you," great. MSN beta Wallpaper is free and can be downloaded here.
MSN Wallpaper also automatically checks for updates with Windows Update, so if this is your bag, you'll always be updated to the latest promotional material.
