6.2.2007 Offline Files in Vista
One of the key things that we focused on for Windows Vista was improving the experience for mobile (laptop) users. If you are like me, you spend quite a bit of time running around with a laptop. However, when I am in my office, I tend to use my desktop. The primary way that I share files between my desktop and my laptop is by storing them on a Windows Server (it's also the primary way that I make sure that my files get backed up).

In early July, I wrote about The Ultimate Team's intention to ship the remaining promised Ultimate Extras (DreamScene and the remaining Language

announce that Windows DreamScene is now available.
As most of you already know, Windows DreamScene transforms your desktop from a static
wallpaper image into a full-motion video. In conjunction with Stardock, we're pleased to also offer a number of cool, new animated DreamScene
desktops, including "Aurora". Additionally, you can use your own videos as DreamScene desktops or visit Stardock's Dream.WinCustomize.com website
to download Stardock's DeskScapes (an add-on to DreamScene) as well as a collection of fabulous content created by Stardock and members of the
Ultimate community.

26.09.2007Dreamscene Preview Ultimate Extra available
Microsoft have just released
the 'Dreamscene Preview'
Ultimate Extra to users of the
Ultimate Edition of Windows
Vista. Dreamscene, which was
revealed at CES 2007, was
missing from the lineup of
extras at the launch of Vista,
as it needed further work.
This preview release allows
Ultimate Edition users to see
what the final technology will
be like once the final version
is released to the public.
Your desktop
background comes to life with
Windows DreamScene. When you
download this Ultimate Extra,
you can select a video for
your desktop background the
same way you select a
stationary picture. You can
choose one of the high-quality
looping videos that we've
included, or use a video from
a company that produces
content for DreamScene. You
can even use your own video as
a background.
To
download Dreamscene, click the
Windows Update or Ultimate
Extras shortcut on your start
menu, and click the 'Check
for new updates' link.

11.05.2007Gmail Goes Offline with Google Gears
Today Gmail Labs released a new feature that bridges the gap between desktop and web-based applications like never before: Offline Gmail. You can now
access your Gmail from your browser any time, whether or not you're online.
Offline Gmail uses Google Gears to download all of
your email to your desktop (every last gigabyte). Using Gmail in offline mode is exactly the same as using it normallyexcept that when offline mode is
enabled in your browser, Gmail is that much faster.

28.01.2009Windows DreamScene coming soon on Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate users
began to receive the first set
of "Ultimate Extras". But
arguably the most anticipated
Ultimate Extra was not there
-- Windows DreamScene.
Windows client
director, Jeff Putt has
confirmed that this extra will
not be available in its final
form immediately after launch.
However, a technology preview
may be coming soon for Windows
Vista Ultimate users who want
to give it a try.
Windows DreamScene enables
users to use looping
high-definition video content
(MPEG, WMV) as an animated
wallpaper. Thanks to the new
3D accelerated desktop in
Windows Vista, the animated
wallpaper uses virtually no
CPU (just a little for
decoding the video).
Microsoft demonstrated
Windows DreamScene yesterday
at the launch event which
showed Windows DreamScene
using an animated wallpaper
created by
Stardock
. The wallpaper they showed
will be available exclusively
at Neowin.net's partner site,
WinCustomize
.com, in February.
More information on
public availability for
Windows Vista Ultimate users
is expected soon.

30.01.2007Microsoft unveils Windows DreamScene

Windows Vista Ultimate Extra
designed to enable users to
use high-definition video
content as their desktop
background.
During
the demonstration, Microsoft
showed how little CPU
DreamScene uses thanks to its
utiliziation of the Desktop
Windows Manager (DWM).
Microsoft tapped
WinCustomize.com (a Neowin.net
partner) to host third-party
created content on a new site
called Dream.WinCustomize.com.
Microsoft also worked closely
with
Stardock
during the development of
DreamScene and to produce the

25.12.2007DreamScene RTM dated July 19, Microsoft: what took so long?
After Dreamscene was finally released, the anger built up over the months was somewhat subdued amongst Windows Vista Ultimate users. And yet, everyone
was quite curious on what took so long, as there didn't seem to be much of a difference between the beta preview released on February 28 (build
16455) and the final (build 16504) released yesterday. Well, unfortunately, what was discovered only raises mor questions. Dreamscene's core
component, Dreamscene.dll, had some interesting information other than just build numbers embedded within. According to the PE header and build string
of the library, the final Dreamscene build was compiled on July 19, 2007. Not only does that mean that there were a mere 49 builds in a grand total of
141 days, but one must ask, what exactly was Microsoft doing, other than testing of course, in the 68 days between build and release?

26.09.2007Stardock to announce DeskScapes 2.0 Vista Ultimate Extras going the Way of the Dodo
Long Zheng:
Windows Ultimate Extras is losing value faster than
the US dollar as one of the few extras is soon to be superseded by a free third-party application that works not only on Vista Ultimate, but Home
Premium and Business versions as well. That extra would be
DreamScene, that third party would
be
Stardock and that application would be
DeskScapes 2.0. Those grumpy looking people in the corner would be
Ultimate Extra advocates.
Tomorrow, Stardock will announce
DeskScapes 2.0 the second version of its desktop background visualiser tool for Windows Vista. Formerly DeskScapes was an
extension to the DreamScene extra, allowing for dynamic generated Dreams on top of just the motion videos allowed by DreamScene itself. Now, both
formats will be supported by DeskScapes 2.0 without the requirements for DreamScene or Vista Ultimate.

09.01.2007Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable
The Microsoft® Windows® Installer (MSI) is the application installation and configuration service for Windows. Version 4.5 of the Windows Installer
has several new features, including:
Multiple Package Transaction: In a multiple package transaction, you can create a single
transaction from multiple packages. In a multiple package transaction, a chainer is used to dynamically include packages in the transaction. If any of
the packages do not install as expected, you can roll back the installation.
Embedded UI Handler: You can embed a custom user
interface (UI) handler in the Windows Installer package. This makes a custom UI easier to integrate. You can also invoke an embedded UI handler from
the Add or Remove item in Control Panel. Or, you can invoke an embedded UI handler during a Windows Installer repair process.

03.06.2008Zoho Writer Gets Offline Editing
Zoho Writer made its tools available offline through
Google Gears a few months back, but the offline capabilities were
limited to read-only functions. Now both view and edit options are available for Zoho Offline, through Google Gears. So youll need to first download
Google Gears if you dont already have it. From there, youll be able to access your documents offline.
Theres a new option in your
Zoho Writer toolbar that lets you choose offline mode. Once clicked, Zoho will download the 15 documents based on your left-hand document order for
you to work with offline. If you need more, you can select to have up to 25 documents downloaded for offline use. This may be suitable for most users,
but for those that use Zoho Writer in a more extensive manner, this may not be enough access for offline use. I frequently search through previous
documents for fact-checking and other reasons, and would need access to more than 25 documents. But with some creative finagling, most users should be
able to work around these limitations.

26.11.2007Whitehouse email offline
Late yesterday it was reported that the email system for the White House was offline and there was no estimated time until it would be back up.
"Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced the technical snafu at his 1:30 p.m. briefing, apologizing to the media for the e-mail silence this
afternoon." It appears that it was a server overload as the new administration was migrating their transition email over to the official White House
email servers. The outage affects both incoming and outgoing emails. The server being knocked offline is probably not a coincidence after the Obama
staff complained that the technology was archaic.
