In the first part of this topic, I explained how to manage multiple time zones using the additional clocks feature of Windows Vista. However, this approach had two shortcomings:
In this post, we discover a way which allows you to do both of the above.
A lot of us work in businesses which require us to manage meetings with people in various time zones. The old fashioned way of doing this was by hanging multiple clocks on you wall, each set for the time zone that you do business in. Well, with Windows Vista, that has changed. Windows Vista allows you to configure multiple clocks on your PC. And we will tell you how.
I talked about the Search features in Windows Vista a couple of weeks ago. We had just barely scratched the surface when it comes to search in Vista at that time.
In this article, I will talk about a few of the less obvious search enhancements available in Vista, which however are far more powerful and useful.
If you have been running the Ultimate version of Windows Vista and have been wondering how it is different from the other versions in daily use; here’s an answer. Windows Vista comes with a bunch of Extras which are not available to lesser flavors of Vista. One of these extras that we have been tracking is called Windows DreamScene (check out the video available at the bottom of this link).
DreamScene lets you configure a video as a wallpaper. So, instead of static wallpapers, you can have dynamic wallpapers. Now, whether you decide to go for a 3D virtual world type background or you include your home video, it’s up to you.
This extra has been in the news for some time but we were waiting for it to be released before we decided to cover it. As of last week, it has been formally made available for Windows Vista Ultimate users to download and install.
There is some great content available out of the box in the release to start you off. You can also download more from http://dream.wincustomize.com. Or create your own as well.
Of course, a lot of serious computer users might not find this as exciting (some of us don’t even have wallpapers). But this is just the thing for those who like to have pretty wallpapers on their desktops. Also, we think that this does help a lot in breaking the monotony that can seep in from working long hours on a computer.
If you are running DreamScene, we would love to hear comments about your experience.
