Honestly, as someone who is so damn indecisive with wallpapers, its my favorite new feature from Windows 7. Currently have 36 wallpapers randomly rotating. Anyone else use this at all?

Yes. I have the three official Metro 2033 wallpapers cycling through every hour. 
 
Each wallpaper gets ~20 minutes before it changes.

I used to during my change the wallpaper to the next most anticipated game every week phase I was in. Now I just set it to something that isn't coming out for a long while, but I know I'll still be stoked about until it's release: Batman: Arkham Asylum 2.

I did, but with how mine looks now, it would really only work with my current wallpaper.

OK I'm an idiot who's not amazing with computers, can one of you explain to me how you can do this? I do have Windows 7, but I never figured out how to get this feature working.

@VinceNotVance: If you go to "Personalize" (right click desktop), and change the wallpaper, you can check multiple images (check box is top left on thumbnail). If you keep all your wallpapers in a folder then if you have all images in the folder selected, every time you add a new image it will auto-add it to the rotation as well.

Love this feature. I have about 30 or so rotating on my second monitor every 3 hours. Helps with my indecisiveness.

My interest in Windows 7 just went up about 500 percent. I had no idea it had that feature! Guess I know what the operating version will be when I finally build my first rig.

I had it on but found that it often caused performance issues during transition, and even caused a permanent 50% performance drop in Just Cause 2 when it occurred. I decided the easiest way to deal with it was just to turn it off again, although I'm sure there are alternate solutions.

I used to use Webshots which had a wallpaper rotating feature before this came along. I'm not crazy about wallpapers, but it's nice to see different images every once in a while.
