Vista Ultimate Dreamscene not suitable for ultimate PC's
I recently bought a new PC, with some reasonable specs, and a copy of
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit OEM to compliment it (for reference, when
buying Vista OEM, you are licensed for either 64-bit or 32-bit - you
are not licensed for either as you are with retail versions of Vista).
I
won't lie, in addition to support for more RAM, my main interest in
Vista was an OS that had fresh new feeling with lots of eye-candy. And
with that in mind I promptly downloaded the Vista Ultimate exclusive,
Dreamscene - which, for those who don't know, allows you to use
high-resolution videos as a wallpaper.
Now first off, this
feature really isn't that sweet. It looks nice, but it's hardly a
programming marvel worthy of exclusive availability to Vista Ultimate
users only. It's really not worth a pinch of crap so I don't see why
Microsoft can give it to all Vista users. Windows users can already
get the effect now with the free, and highly recommended, VLC media player.
But
that's not why I'm posting this blog. I'm posting this blog because my
PC is too good, too powerful, too ULTIMATE, for this Vista Ultimate
only feature. You see, I have two video cards in my PC so I can run
three monitors.
When I attempt to run Dreamscene, Windows get on its hands and knees in front of
me and chants, "I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy"--the
application won't work on a PC with more than one video card.
Ultimate version of Windows, my arse. An Ultimate operating system would have descent support for multiple monitors. I was running dual monitors on Windows 95 and from a users perspective nothing has changed between now and then. You still need to use something like UltraMon to really enjoy a multiple monitor set-up.
For reference there is nothing that I know of that can make Dreamscene work with multiple video cards.

I really have had a lot of problems with Window's Vista. I really think that it was put out on the market too fast and it really was not going to help as well as it should have been. I am really glad that they were able to release Windows 7, and made things more accessible and easier to use.
