MSVDM

It's part of the XP power toys set. It's not as good as the one in X for linux, but it serves it's purpose :)

My Desktop

Definitely a different style of wallpaper than what I usually have. I like it, though. That's Memorial Stadium (aka Death Valley) on the campus of Clemson University during the NC State Thursday night football game a few weeks ago.

Grr. Times like this I wish I had a bigger monitor, for the higher resolution desktops. 15" Flat Panel that came with comp... or spend money. See, if I wasn't a poor student this wouldn't be a problem. ;)

Virtual Desktop App... sorta like the multiple desktops Linux has? I never really adjusted well to those when I was using them. Maybe I should try again. Suggestion on which one? I know Microsoft has it's own little 4 desktop tool. I'd much rather get a nice thin bevel 21" Flat Panel though. *snif* Nice little footprint.

Check out my screenshot 4 posts up or so... the neat-o link.

That's the MS one. It's alright, but not as good as the linux one.

Cool, I'll check it out. How much of a system drain will it be? For the time being I only have p4 2.4b, 128 pc2700 and a mx420, so not tons of memory or speed to go around.
