One of the Windows Vista features I was most looking forward to last year was Sideshow: A secondary mini-screen that can be used with the primary screen. Although it can be implemented in various ways, I was specifically looking forward to its use as a small screen on the lid of a notebook PC (see image taken from Microsoft.com of an Asus notebook). So far, however, none of the tier 1 notebook manufacturers (Dell, HP, etc.) have produced a notebook with Sideshow. And, for that matter, we haven’t seen any products that attach to the PC that take advantage of Sideshow either. I found a site called SideShowDevices. But, it is pretty sparsely populated. So, what happened? Too expensive to produce? No software to use it? No one else but me wants it? Hmm.
What Ever Happened to Microsoft Vista Sideshow?…
Great post. Thanks! I’ll add a link to your post….
