you would kinda think that if they did it for one they would offer it on all of them. I know for myself i would rather use the google that is focused on the things that are more local to me then the .com whole web deal. i know i wont use this interesting feature. Well at least until its put up on .ca then i will.

nice find! I read that they are rolling out this new feature to other countries too in the "coming days" so stay tuned!
P.S. look for the "Change background image" link on the bottom left of the Google homepage.
