That said, there’s no reason why you can’t use a screensaver just to brighten up your idle PC with a little beauty, art, or other images that just make you smile. (I enjoy a montage of my new baby’s pictures, for example).

If you also enjoy screensavers, there’s a lovely new one appearing here on Microsoft’s “DiscoverBing.co.uk” website. The Bing screensaver includes a number of the most popular images from the Bing.com homepage – the same images you’ll find in the popular themepacks Bing’s Best and Bing's Best 2.

The Bing screensaver works on any computer running Windows XP SP 2 and up that has 512 MB RAM, a 500 MHZ processor and 50 MB of free hard drive space. You can download it for free here (.exe file).

With this service, you can turn your photos into 3D screensavers, wallpaper collages, and even something they call “PhotoToys,” which are basically desktop widgets that display your photos in new and fun ways.

Using the PhotoJoy application, you can import photos from your computer, your Flickr account, or from PhotoJoy’s own online gallery of professional images. You can then transform them into screensavers, collages, or widgets. These widgets, or PhotoToys, can display your photos as cubes, magazines, mobiles, shuffles, and more.

If you choose the option to import your photos from Flickr, you’ll also want to enable the web streaming feature, too, as this will automatically update your PhotoJoy creations with new images as they become available online.

The PhotoJoy application is available as a free download and is spyware and adware free.
