http://live.pirillo.com/ – Chris is currently running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, which means Chris has access to some extras. Sadly, there are little to no good extras (and the term "sucks" doesn’t do the level of suck justice).

One of those extras, Windows Vista DreamScene, seems pretty cool: it’s software that integrates with Windows Vista Ultimate that allows you to play video as your background "image" as opposed to using a static image.

Each time Chris used is on another machine he had to turn it off. DreamScene did little to enhance the user experience and more to distract users.

If you really want movies in the background, ok. But, really, you should avoid this like the plague. It’s really horrible.

So horrible, in fact, that it doesn’t work at the screen resolution that Chris uses on his main computer.
