Comments on: 360desktop Beta Review http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/03/360desktop-beta-review/ Common questions, simple answers Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:28:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bob http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/03/360desktop-beta-review/comment-page-1/#comment-8031 Bob Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:12:55 +0000 http://www.simplehelp.net/?p=630#comment-8031 I loaded it onto our new MSI AE1900 Wind Touch all-in-one computer (32bit, Intel Atom N330, 2 GB RAM, Vista Home Basic) along with RocketDock. It appears to be running fine. There was one instance in which the system did not go into sleep/hibernate properly and the 360desktop was blank on startup. Rebooting fixed the problem. We have made our own 360, but have not attempted to add widgets yet. Initially wanted to use BumpTop, which had a great look/feel to it, but needed to constantly reinitialize BumpTop settings. The only drawback so far is the fact that panning does not appear to work with touch on the main screen. One can, however, pan via touch within the small 360desktop control panel.

If not try downloading Revo Uninstaller. It's freeware and will uninstall programmes and then scan and remove any leftovers in Registry etc. Any sign of a 64 bit beta yet Evan? Best wishes, John Won’t it uninstall through Control Panel?

Yes our software is beta and your feedback helps make it better. The couple of widgets that you see are actually 4th July content, embedded as part of the 4th July 360. You can add your own widgets via button on QuickNav. Also thanks for the find (/gallery) ouch, a 2am miss! Cheers Evan Hi Guys, thanks for your feedback – really appreciate it.

I was going through their video demo on their website and I noticed the link www.360desktop.com/gallery on the video so I typed it in... go and have a look and that will give you an idea about how much they still need to get done to get it to the masses, there are a few cool backgrounds on their site though. Cant wait for them to tweak it further.
