360 desktop gives you a life!
How sad is this?
I'm still going to download it.

Anyone with a res of over 1024x768 won't really need this.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
I'll download and try it out tommorow, but a couple pre-download wonderings,
Wouldn't a program like this take up a fuckload of RAM? Not to mention all the running apps.
How would it handle something like Bf2? Or any other Fullscreen app/game?
Multi-monitor support?

I run Vista X64, so it'll be 'a few weeks away' till I can see.360Desktop FAQ wrote:

Lol interesting. Will play with it a bit and tell you if I find it usable.
Sucks.
I like it.
I'm downloading it. After all, even Crysis doesn't use up my 4 gb of ram.
Now, why the hell did I even get 4 gb of ram?

Humm.
Doesn't work on my dual monitors.
I want it to rotate automatically... it doesn't seem to do this?
Any ideas... or is it been uninstalled already......

Dunno, sounds like a waste of money. 2GBs is more than enough unless you're on vista then you need like 10Gbs lolsome_random_panda wrote:

For that, get Ubuntu.

Well it just scrolled the background for me. No added desktop space. Uninstalled it.

It doesn't really take much work to get quite a number of games to run just fine under Ubuntu. Even BF2 that hardly even runs under Windows can be ran under it..Sup wrote:

The cube looks better.
And Crysis runs on very high too doesn't it? Don't bullshit me, I've tried Cedega and Wine.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Performance of Cedega/Wine properly configured is very close to (and even beyond) that of Windows. I didn't say every game out there will run 100% fine on it, it doesn't, but many games do.
Besides, what computer runs Crysis on Very High? Crysis is nothing but very unoptimized and overhyped as a benchmark.

I failed? So you got Crysis to work in Linux? PicsFreezer7Pro wrote:

I don't really care. The thing is absolutely pointless..Sup wrote:

You're bullshitting yourself, many games of many genres to satisfy many people can and do run well under Linux.
If you really want to play Crysis on Very High, which doesn't look all that special next to High, then you probably should use Windows.
If you don't want to set up Linux either and would rather chill and frag, go for it. Linux is great and all but I never liked the troubleshooting part of it. Either way, do what you want but don't bash one side for a reason that was only logical 4 years ago.
