CaptainI was screwing around again last night and stumbled onto a program called DreamScenes. Its a program that allows you to have animated wallpapers directly on your desktop. I thought that this would be a neat program to have for my computer, since it barely uses any resources. Then I got crushed that it was for Vista Ultimate, not Vista Basic Edition, Home Premium, or Business Edition.
So, I did some digging and found out how to add the feature to my Premium edition!!! This is a great program because you can use .wav files as a wallpaper! Only setback is that a company called Stardock created Dreamscape, a program that let you have access to high resolution animated wallpapers. They make the program work for only the Ultimate Edition!!! Thats cool, but I'll find some good file as long as I keep searching.
Another goodie is the new Windows Silverlight program. (http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/)
I was looking at what this program can do and was impressed. So I downloaded that program and found out that it works best when the website supports the Silverlight feature. So you have to have the program, and the site must support it before you see the beauty in this program.
Finally, I saved the best for last: Joost(http://www.joost.com/). This program is AWESOME!!!! It is like a huge video database, but you can watch television shows as well! Everything from Adult Swim to V2...... I mean everything!!! It'll make you stay at the computer forever!! The only problem is that you better have DSL or higher, or it'll lag. I watch a show called Fifth Gear....since the only we I can watch Top Gear is through You Tube. 🙄
Well there you have it. If you have Vista be prepared to be amazed at what these programs can do. If you have XP......
..............well at least you can get Joost.
