LOL. The playboy women are all fake, don't do much for me. Now some of the SuicideGirls, they are pretty cute and better yet, realistic women. ;o)
 
Mostly I was thinking of backgrounds that quickly tell me something about the specific window sort of like bginfo on the desktop. I usually have different colors for different command prompts running in different security contexts doing different things. Unfortunately you don't have a huge number of colors to chose from so you start subcategorizing windows with text color plus sometimes in my old age I sit there thinking... hmmm what was magenta with green text again? If I could just build simple backgrounds that say, User ID this for accessing this this and that, etc. Maybe a nice tropical scene too so when it is 60 degrees out (That would be F not C) and I am a bit chilly I can smile at my command prompt window. Yes, sort of a cyber geek I know. ;o)
 
It just seems silly that they are so into the glass look but 99% of the window space isn't, it is just a little tiny bit around the edges, what is the point other than looking kind of fun. Sounds like it was a lot of work for that little bit of fun. I can make the gadgets go transparent, I think Windows would be logical.
 
If you do MCE, let me know how it performs, it might be considerably better now because this build as a whole is much more responsive.

What is it you’re going to put on the command prompt background anyway? A semi transparent playboy centerfold to look at while you program?

 

I’m downloading 5365 now since I busted my MCE I’m either going to fix it with that or revert to SP2.

 

Thanks,

If someone would just write some XBOX 360 Admin tools for Active Directory we would have a whole giant pool of amazing AD Admins. The way my brothers and cousins master those games it would be amazing to see them go after AD that way.

 

Haven't tried the MCE stuff yet but was going to play for a week and then install, now Brian has scared me.

 

I just have to say again that this interface is beautiful. I am a command prompt guy and think that if you log into a server all you should see is black and white (or black and green if you are one of those green screen weird types) text but the workstation should look amazing.

 

Still want my transparent command prompts with custom backgrounds though...

 

With all of the RSS stuff built in I have to start thinking about what cool kind of things I can publish through RSS from AD to have it just feed in and display for me. I am visualizing object add counts, etc that would normally be in a report you have to go chase down.

Have you tested MCE on it? 5342 MCE on a beefy box is like useless

Yes. I loaded it two nights ago. Pretty cool. First build I’ve found comfortable to use (old POS box – no aero).

I just (like an hour ago) loaded Vista 5365 and it is in the Windows Security Center with the firewall, auto updates, and AV whiner.

 

5365 became available on connect a couple of days ago. It isn't up on MSDN yet.

We are evaluating Windows Vista Beta and are trying to locate the Windows Defender which Microsoft claims is installed by default on Vista, however it is not installed on our beta version and downloading it from the web it says that it is not supported on Vista.  Any ideas?
