22.05.2008Windows 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.

06.05.2008At last, a bridge between Windows Home Server and Media Center
With this week's release of Power Pack 2 for Home Server, Microsoft is filling a very important gap. Up until recently, the company had been
maintaining that the place for users to store videos and multimedia was on their Media Center computers (generally Windows Vista Ultimate-based
systems), and the place for their "everyday files" was their Home Server. But the biggest and most cumbersome "everyday files" are multimedia
files, including those that deserve to be streamed and accessed by Media Center. While setting up Media Center to include a Home Server folder as one
of its "watch folders" is one option for getting files listed, that's not as rich as setting up a streaming connection...

25.03.2009DeskScapes 2.0 Preview Available
Stardock is pleased to announce that the DeskScapes 2.0 preview version is now available. DeskScapes allows users of Windows Vista to have animated
wallpapers on their desktop. It runs the Stardock created .DREAM format which can contain videos as animated wallpapers or dynamically generated
content.
What makes DeskScapes special is that animated wallpapers can be run that use hardly any system resources (obviously
this will depend on what animated wallpaper is chosen). It integrates seamlessly with the Windows Vista desktop background dialog so picking animated
wallpapers is much the same as picking any other desktop wallpaper.

19.11.2006Updated: The bridge to Microsoft, literally
If you've ever visited Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, WA, you've probably been stuck in and out of traffic as you travel to and from
campus. As a journalist, I usually try to stay away from politics and news but this story is sure going to have the headlines in Washington D.C.
throwing a fit. It's a pretty known fact now that the entire world is in a recession, and people are losing their jobs left and right. If
you've been following the news relating to the economy, I'm sure you're very familiar with the $787 billion dollar Economic Stimulus
package into law a few weeks ago.

15.03.2009New Windows Embedded build brings new theme
User called marxo found a new Windows XP MCE-like theme in the latest CTP of Windows Embedded:
This style can be
found in the Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh. It's called "Embedded" and, along with the wallpaper, gets copied into the image if
the Windows XP UI component is added. As it's digitally signed it works with any XP/Server 2003 install. The archive I uploaded below contains the
Embedded folder and the Embedded.theme to be copied to %systemroot%resourcesthemes and the wallpaper in its original format and size.

New type of image spam hides in e-mail wallpaper
A new type of image spam found
this week is able to bypass
many filters by presenting a
message as wallpaper within an
e-mail, according to the
vendor Secure Computing.
Image spam uses text
embedded in an image to foil
traditional spam filters that
catch spam by scanning
messages for key words and by
using other text-based
techniques. Normal image spam
is delivered as an attachment
or loaded into an e-mail via a
url, says Paul Henry, vice
president of strategic
accounts for Secure Computing.
But a new type of
image spam Secure Computing
found this week takes
advantage of e-mail
stationery, which consists of
an HTML template. When used
legitimately, the template
might contain a companys logo
and the senders name and
contact information, just like
a piece of letterhead paper. ..
