    That does look pretty cool. Isn't Vista suppossed to be supporting external displays like that on laptops?

    haven't heard anything about vista. ran the beta and was unimpressed.

    curious as to how a laptop would run an external visual display other than existing tech? like (existing) external monitor support? or somethig else?

    anyways, it would be cool to be able to config something that plugged in (docking station or otherwise) that would give you vital stats on your machine.

    after running samurize with things like HD free/used space, CPU process usage as a %age, down/upload speeds, pop mail counts/"from"/"subject", weather, etc.... it's hard to go without having all that info available at a moment's glance.
