Amazing Brass and Windows Vista
Now that Microsoft have released Windows Vista, you
might be wondering why you need Brass. It's a good question, and
there's a very good answer...
The Vista Sidebar
You have probably heard of the new Vista sidebar.
Microsoft saw just how popular "widget" and plugin enhancers
like Amazing Brass are, and decided to add similar functionality
to Vista.
The Vista sidebar lets you add simple plugins (called
"gadgets" in Microsoft terms) to your desktop - you can
add small puzzle games, little tools such as a calculator, and RSS
feeds. In one shot Microsoft made most of the current desktop enhancer
tools like Konfabulator and DesktopX completely redundant.
But not Amazing Brass...
What makes Brass special?
From day one the Brass development team have been very clear that
Brass is not just another desktop enhancer tool. There are already
too many tools that put a thousand RSS feeds on your desktop and,
whilst Brass can still do that, we wanted something much more useful.
Brass is able to work with Windows at a much lower level than any
other plugin enhancer tool, and provides far more functionality
than the Vista sidebar.
With plugins such as Mime (mouse
gestures in any application) and Outlooker
(Outlook data on your desktop in a configurable display), Amazing
Brass provides incredible system enhancements that simply aren't
available elsewhere. And with the 100% Configuration System, allowing
you to change the appearance of plugin displays simply by dragging
and dropping (movies here), Brass is still
the most powerful system enhancement tool available.
And although Brass can create all this shiny magic on your desktop,
it won't use up your system resources. Brass was written in a mixture
of C++ and Assembly language, making it the smallest, fastest and
most efficient application of its type. Unlike other Widget engines
and the Vista sidebar, no Javascript, Visual Basic or HTML is used.
Brass can load and run plugins in less than 5 megabytes of memory
- compare that to Konfabulator, which needs 10 megabytes of memory
for each and every plugin you load.
Amazing Brass is the number
one, most powerful system enhancement tool available, and gives
you features you can't find anywhere else. Try it today!
