You should try customizing it, try Litestep..its free, it replaces the windows shell with its own shell which you can basically do anything you want (with in reason). i would be lost without lol

Lets see your desktop screenshot

OS: XP
Programs: ObjectDock, Yahoo Widgets, Foobar2000, VLC, Royale Noir, IconTweaker, Dock Icons (DeviantArt: Leopard Reflective)
judging from the pic it's a tall screen you got
other then that i'd sugest rocketdock in someways it's better then objectdock
not that i dont like that one i use both at once
but rocketdock got a stacking option which is a cool rip off of apples leopard's stack
maybe he's got a quad monitor setup stacked on top of each other
i've got duals stacked (i like it better than spread out)
but if i had quads, i'd roll with a 2x2 array
Let me be a little different here. From my EEE PC
It is still running XP
My HDD crashed about a month ago and I havn't really re-installed a lot of my stuff but yea my wallpaper makes up for it
Dell XPS Gen 4 3.4 GHZ P4 HT (original Dual-Core)
4 GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8800 768MB DDR 3
Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
blah
blah
blah
but yea it gets me through the day, my laptop is my baby but if I post a screenshot of that desktop the feds would be at my door
BIG Thanks to both extraducksauce & Rudegar, now I'm using ObjectDock & RocketDock! Just a great setup!

BSODroid - BSOD any Vista machine on your network!

BSODroid is my first Android application. It is a proof of concept implementation of a flaw in Windows Vista, which is so far unpatched (although Microsoft are due to start distributing the patch any moment now), that allows a user to send a Blue Screen of Death to that computer over the network.
Main thread in Development section, but I just thought I'd post it here as I know that most Android users seem to check this section for Android applications, rather than the Development section!

43 downloads and no comments? Anyone out there having some fun with this?
ohhh yea i tried it at few test machines yesterday, it worked both on vista and windows 7RC. Not sure abt windows 7RTM but i think it also works on certain windows 2008 servers. Microsoft whats going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
They dont have a patch available yet, but they do provide a workaround a registry hack that wont let BSoD comeup.
I d like to know more abt it whats the process here if you dont mind
Didn't work on my Win 7 RTM but thanks for the app.
Does this app can damage the computer / hard disk who gets the BSOD ??
Thanks for tour creation
It's great job.
i search an ip scanner for android ?? if you have information

You mean Win 7 RC
Have almost broken 1000 downloads! (Currently at 950)
If anyone's interested, go ahead and give it a try from the market!
Does it harm your PC or just gives you the bsod?
I want to know if it actually harms the comp as well. If its just a temp thing that doesn't actually do some serious damage this could be pretty fun!
Oh look, somebody found a way to be an Internet Griefer in real life.
Congrats.
Maybe instead of making this harassment app, you should've just reported the flaw to Microsoft through their developer feedback areas?

tablet pc ui/os that's good?

Okay so I'm running a dell xt2 3gig ram 120 gig hd with windows 7 on it. And I have to say while its fast and gets the job done, there is a lot that the os doesn't supply in the ui department. I installed the origami experience for vista and that seems to help a bit, but because its 1200x800, the experience is quite ugly and limited.
I guess what I am looking for is a fast finger friendly tablet pc ui (something like the sense ui). I have the metro ui installed currently and while its good I am getting a bit bored with it. So xda, are there any more?
edit I don't have a specific os in mind. if there is a linux build that rocks toss it over
I've tried moblin but wasnt impressed
For linux: Ubuntu netbook remix. Haven't tried it because my tablet has no touch/wifi linux support.
For Windows: I use Centrafuse(mainly GPS software, but is customizable) and blue dolphin because it is finger friendly. I haven't found anything close to a Sense UI in terms of depth.
link to blue dolphin?
What about Archos 9?
It seems quite ok

How silly of me, took me forever to find it first time
Go to this web site and select the download button, this will relay you to an ftp site where you can get this software for XP or 7
http://ctl.helpserve.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=19&nav=0,6,1
As for the Archos 9: running a viliv s5 overclocked to 1.8ghz and a nice runcore ssd, it is still rather laggy, and the archos has no custom ui
Have you tried moblin/meego?
If what you want is just a fancy UI, try Samurize. Very customisable and last time I've checked it was also free! Loads of users share their customisations on the site. It is compatible with Win XP, Vista and Server 2003 but don't mention Win 7.
http://www.samurize.com/modules/myalbum/
See sample below.
wovens ty for the response i will try as soon as i reformat windows 7 on mine and get the appropriate drivers from the dell website
as for the question of trying moblin/meego
moblin i tried (read the first post)
meego doesnt have any stable candidates until next month
dolphin finally loaded and that impressed me quite a bit. i like it but there are some issues with it on my dell sadly. it was a monster to install. but thanks for the suggestions they definitely help me out a lot

Im buying an HP mini 110 today. I have a external dvd drive,
Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor N455 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2) + Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
Also, if you recommend a different laptop or netbook let me know, I need to keep it under 500.
Hopefully that is possible, I'll look in a bit, going for something to eat

And thought it would be a good show for what $250 can get u.
I thought an inprovement is needed, so instead ov booting up the tower, i decided to copy a apktool,smali,baksmali, over to a shared folder ran a script and an apk was decompiled.
Now my problem is i cant get the file to build due to lack of a aapt file, and google isnt much help right now.
Hopefully by the end of this well be able to build roms straight from the tab

he basically just remoted into a ubuntu linux pc, nothing you cant do on your phone or any other tablet.
still cool idea just a little misleading title.
So would any one have a direction to pointfor the proper lib and ini.d files
I exited out quickly and the image was running, thus resulting in the absence of mine

I do believe that the linux is running ON the tablet. I've done this before on my other tablet. It runs locally and you have to remote into it.

True, its easy to do, but i was focusing on the fact that apktool ran and decompiled an apk
The bad part is i cant get aapt to run when i build.....
So close yet so far..

Love this ability thanks to Ubuntu for Android and all those working on it. But just still waiting for wine or any window emulators for ARM devices, because it runs supper smooth so far.
