0 Joswin Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Is it just me or does anyone think winbeta went and 'leetified' the splash screen a bit too much on this? :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 me101 Veteran Posted July 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2002 anyone know if it works on anything other than XP? I ran it on a win98 box, it attempted to start, thrashed the hard drive for like 5 minutes and then displayed a window with nothing in it... any idea what the memory requirements for this program is, as the win98 box i have has only 64mb of the fluffy stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Joswin Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 From what i can see in taskmanager its using anything from 14 - 20mb. Not exactley a 'small' amount. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stone_Gaijin Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Most of it is working now for me, except the things I really want to work. I really do not care where Micro$oft's stock is at today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JK1150 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Honestly, I don't like it, it takes up space and is pointless, plus I use AIM more than MSN, Windows should do what jaguar is doing and make a cool app like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Keldyn Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 It's crap. Plain and simple. Even the name is absurd. Brings images of clowns to mind... But then so does the whole of Redmond when i think of it. Just look at Ballmer...:ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Roger H. Veteran Posted July 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2002 LOL @ Keldyn... yeah, he's quite a character (Ballmer) I think it went to his head that he got a big job. He sweats like a pig! oh and this is off-topic but does the feedroom.com work for everyone. The freaking thing (video) keeps freezing and i gotta crash the IE Window but the audio still plays...

0 lazydesert Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 damn. your expectations are way too high for this software. once this app is polished and optimized, i think it will be a really nice application. yes, it has its problems now.. no website.. no support.. bugs.. space.. memory.. ugliness.. and all those things will be worked out in the end (except ugliness cuz MS has a thing against making windows applications that have style. :ermm:) .uninstalled.

0 Tesseract Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 lazydesert: i agree w/ you. the thing is a research project. it will probably show up in longhorn, and it's look will be polished and streamlined as well as its functionality. now if it would work w/ messenger 5, I would be happy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ClintEastman Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 go to My Documents/sideshow theres a "ticket" in there theres one for uk weather plus loads of others, don't forget to put a system laucher on and select start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 y_notm Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I have weather. :D no exe either. You have to custom make your own ssh file and import it into sideshow. http://ynotm.web1000.com/sample1.htm save this to your hard drive 1. go to weather.com and find your local weather (this sample won't do it automatically) enter your zip code and on the next page there will be a 600-mile radius radar map image 2. open sample1.htm in notepad and find the two image locations in the coding. Replace those image links with links to the image you just found. (right click image > properties > location) 3. find the text "16148" in the file and replace it with your zip code (this is where afaik we get US only) 4. save the file 5. in sideshow, right click > new ticket > web content ticket > import.... you now have a weather radar ticket. NOTE: I did not make the sample ticket. khujo from #winbeta was kind enough to hook the people in #winbeta up last night with this sample and taught us how to edit it. so mad props to him i'm working on a neowin ticket now, but i can't figure out how to parse the backend rdf file. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
