Windows SideShow
If you use a laptop computer, you know that starting up your laptop just to check a message or find an address or phone number isn't always practical.
Windows Vista SideShow technology enables laptop manufacturers to include a secondary or auxiliary display in future laptop designs. This display can be used to easily view the critical information you need, whether the laptop is on, off, or in sleep mode. The convenience provided by these auxiliary displays will save time and battery life by allowing you to quickly view meeting schedules, phone numbers, addresses, and recent e-mail messages without having to start up your laptop.
Quickly access the key information you need like appointments, key e-mails, or notes without turning on your laptop using Windows SideShow.
The Windows Vista SideShow platform will also enable hardware manufacturers to build auxiliary displays in a wide range of peripheral devices such as keyboards, LCD display casings, remote controls, and cell phones. These devices can then display information received from a Windows Vista-based PC, providing even more convenience to your everyday computing.
Easily manage the information you want to appear on Windows SideShow enabled devices.
