That's pretty cool, although as someone who uses their desktop a lot that seems like it would make it tough to find things. Does it lag like hell?

No lag to report.

Wakebrad, I don't know how functional that would be. Actually it would drive me nuts... I use my desktop a TON.

well THAT would explain why Vista recommends like 2gigs of RAM Laughing

When do we get streaming video desktops? So I can watch CNN while I work?

It's neat, but a resources hog on even the highest end systems.

i bet vista, along with that video background, pulls more system resources than me rendering video in after effects lol. i have vista, but i finally got my xp system to work nearly perfect (knock knock) so i don't want to risk the upgrade, especially since i only have 1 gig of ram.

Jensen, I wouldn't run vista with anything less than 2G Ram, but if your gonna do video rendering and DreamScene, 4G or it'll run super slow and take you HOURS to get anything done as far as video goes.

Alot of the reason vista hogs memory is because it preloads alot of programs and files into memory that you use often. Why not maximize memory usage anyway with a gig of ram only costing 100 bucks...

i tested it on my laptop and was impressed with it. It also seems to stop playing when another app takes the foreground, so it's not running 100% of the time. All in all, I'm impressed with how vista keeps graphical stuff running so well.

Now, the compatibility issues are an entirely different story...

I cant use it because it wont run on dual monitors...

I am rocking Vista on 2x 22" widescreen LCD monitors with Dreamscene running across the entire desktop, looks amazing.
