Version: Deskpops Interactive Wallpaper 1.02

"good idea if put in the right hands"

by nerdzrool on April 13, 2005

Pros: It would have been an interesting idea if it had been put into the hands of some good people instead of people trying to make money off of ads.

Cons: The FIRST thing I saw when I installed it was a pile of ads. plus it took up nearly my WHOLE screen. Didn't look clean at all. Imagine browsing a website where even your popup blockers don't work, and no matter what they're always there. Thats what this program is like.

"A solid program for news junkies of all varieties"

by pfaoro on February 27, 2005

Pros: Deskpops covers broad areas of interest. However you define "news", Deskpops probably has it, from politics to sports and entertainment. Customer support is outstanding!

Cons: The program consumes large chunks of RAM, but it isn't nearly the space hog other programs can be. Smaller monitors and/or resolutions below 1024x768 present "challenges" in getting Deskpops to display properly but workarounds are available from customer support.
