I understand that theres gotta be dreams for the massess, but how come there cant be higher end dreams? Not all of us are stuck using low end computers. How come there cant be some dreams for us that have up to date computers?

I guess a lot depends on the context that you look at things but I think that perhaps Dragoro's post was judged a little out of context at times here. I have often wondered why Microsoft themselves has not come out with more content for this application, (rhetorical question..no response required ), and if in fact they are depending solely on companies like Stardock and the community here to support and release content for this new tool they have released for Vista Ultimate. The dream file format, created by MS requires Ultimate and a fairly beefy system to run correctly. That's not elitist or snobbish on Dragoro's part, just a fact of life.

Dragoro makes a valid point for those who have shelled out a lot of money for high end systems so that they can run applications like this and others that are in the works.

I don't find that in the least offensive or "elitist" but rather a pretty straight forward question as to the what the future might hold for the investment he has made.

This kind of reminds me of that commercial, "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful"

This is the problem with forums ...people DO read more into a post than is actually there, and I think this is a result of people coming to expect there will be a nasty person amongst the good ones, as this is the nature of the beast [read: internet] we are using as our medium.


bingo!

I try to assume that anything I read here is meant in the best possible way.  It's a leap of faith sometimes and sometimes fails.  But it's worth the effort every time.

I'll be coming out with some decent high-end Dreams just as soon as those idiots out at Los Alamos Labs give me access to the Cray super computer they have there. I was told I have to wait until it stops crunching some kind of data having to do with the origin of the universe....

i for one have an up to date pc.. i choose not to run vista.. I think he didnt realize his wording would sound so smug...we need to remember that not everybody is up on netticut, and not all are as well scripted and versatile in articulating their thoughts in to words as others are......

I have to say I agree 100% with all the recent posts in Dragoro's defense. In fact that's the stand I took from the beginning by simply asking him to clarify. The post I made about beggars cant be choosers was just there to make a point, and wasn't really aimed or directed at Dragoro specifically - sorry if that got misinterpreted that way

Anyways it makes me smile to know that we have such a mature audience in this forum. Normally from my experiences I would have expected a lot more fighting and immature, pointless arguing. It seems I was wholly mistaken! I was actually surprised and very glad to read some of the responses on this forum, and I wont make the mistake of underestimating your maturity again(I've seen it so much I somewhat subconsciously do whenever I communicate online... I guess immature kids have scarred me lol)

Anyways im done ranting. I love you guys

all I can say is you have a "high end" pc and not something low end (I don't have a high end pc but my pc doesn't have a chain attached to it so that it can double as a boat anchor either), start creating & uploading high end content to the site.

I firmly believe that what we've seen so far by way of .dreams ...is just the tip of the iceberg.


Correction..The iceberg can be seen but we are still a few miles from even getting to the tip.

I doesn't cater to anyone when skinning. I just make what I think is cool and upload it.

There are quite a few 1080P wallpapers.

However, next week you'll get your wish as dynamic dreams start to be made public which run natively at the resolution of your display (i.e. 1200p or higher for instance).  So the better your machine, the fancier it'll look.

Hopefully that is/becomes/remains the way of the beast....

They'd need to be driving a big truck this way to inflict any scarring on me [breaks into a chorus of Rose Tattoo's 'Scarred for life']....

Oo!!! I hadn't even thought about that! It makes perfect sense though, of course it'll run on whatever you're using. Genius! Simply Genius!

You're kidding me, we're getting dynamic dreams next week? Heck yeash, finally, as if they weren't already secretly (and quite vocally) amazed,this will show all those "Vista Sucks" (can't handle that Microsoft might have actually done a few things right) people out there that Vista truly is blowing away Mac nowdays.
I cannot wait for the dynamic dreams.

I know it sucks to not have a high end computer as some people do, but what the hell do you think you have to by a whole new machine. take your tax return and go by a new video card and processor. if you say that they are to expensive, then you might want to look a little harder on the internet for some better deals. they are out there waiting for you to buy them along with vista ultimate....now lets bring on the dreams of all shapes and sizes and of course kick ass quality and res so every one can say i have a dream..my dream is for the best and highest res dream there is...for you slower and not so qualifed computers your dreams may be alittle or alot lower........
