fancy a new kind of wallpaper?
QUOTE As disclosed and confirmed by multiple sources: One of the new UI features being added to Windows Vista during the blackout time leading to RTM is currently known internally as "Motion Desktop" and could very easily retain this title as its final name. It will allow for the end user to run an animated or interactive desktop wallpaper to complement the UI already present in Windows Vista. The Vista SKUs which will contain this new feature along with the degree of customizability the end user will see in creating his own Motion Desktop are as yet unknown. More details as I have them. Internal discussions seem to suggest that interactive Motion Desktops should be able to integrate with relative ease into various Windows Live services, and one can expect third-party and first-party Motion Desktops to be displayed on a Live gallery similar to what is currently in use for sidebar and live gadgets. Update (10-24-06): As confirmed by Paul Thurrott, Motion Desktop will be an Ultimate Extras feature only, and it will be rolled out in January 2007, and will not be much different from running a screensaver as a wallpaper (similar to Long's screensaver application) as internally confirmed by Michael.

installed vista ulimate last night. first impression, the GUI is awesome but some of my apps and software didn't run porperly in vista. Finally, switched back to XP. I'll wait until mid of next year to install Vista when they solved all the compatibility issue.

CPU-z problem or vista? unsure bout it I'm having the same problem too when running CPU-z in Vista. The CPU reading keep changing from 1000Mhz to 2.2Ghz (using 3500+). I dont hv this problem when using winxp. I guess cpu-z is not ready yet for vista. Just wait n see. |
