Last week, we reported on a crude hack which allowed users of build 6801 of Windows 7 (the build handed out at PDC) to use a slightly botched version of the new taskbar. Rafael Rivera created a new tool that enables many more protected features, such as gestures, panning, and desktop slideshow. It’s as simple as the click of a button, and also works on Windows 7 installations which already had the previous hack applied. I can confirm that the tool works.
This “desktop slideshow” feature is nothing more than the same feature found in Mac OS X for a while now.
Nice innovation Microsoft!!!!
By “here we go again” you mean the way that mac guys seem to assume that everything was invented by apple?
rotating wallpapers have been around for ages. what i find cool about this implementation is you can point it at an rss feed.
They should call it something like…
Active Desktop… Reinvented! Again.
