It's essentially an extension of Windows Vista's SideBar pane, and it runs all of the same free Gadget mini applications similar to Apple's Widgets. The default Gadgets that come with the XPS include system information screens, a music playlist and short cuts.
Right now Microsoft offers about 1, others available for download. The chief benefit is that you can run use SideShow to play media or find sports scores, stock prices, weather, or other quick hit information without sitting down at your desk, and while the system is in sleep mode.
We've seen SideShow on a laptop or two, as well as on a few high-end home theater PCs, but this is the first time we've seen it on a traditional desktop, and it's a definite boon you won't find from other vendors. That's a good thing too, because when we compare the specs of the XPS to one of its rivals, you can see that those features add up. Our advice is to proceed with caution if you're thinking about the baseline XPS , and be sure to compare it with other systems.
And while the upgraded XSP has a distinct features advantage over the HP, Dell still couldn't beat it on our application tests, where the HP tied or won in every case. You can add more RAM to the Dell, of course, but for extra cost. That's a solid--if not outstandingD card, and it outpaces anything HP has to offer. Dell also offers a much higher-end and more expensive GeForce GTX, as well as an Ageia physics card if you'd like to make this system more gaming-friendly.
Even if it's not the fastest performer around, the XPS still offers more features than any other mainstream desktop.
If you opt for the package we have, you could use the XPS to watch and record unencrypted TV, and then use the Xcelerator to help you change those recordings into PSP- or iPod-friendly video formats.
You could also use the XPS to watch Blu-ray movies and stream unencrypted HD content, or anything else, really, to another networked playback device over the wide bandwidth That all sounds great, and some of it no other mainstream desktop can do, but there are a few limitations. First, Dell is a Blu-ray-only house. We have a disturbance in the force somewhere here.

First, Dell is a Blu-ray-only house. It's essentially a ViXS Xcode chip tied to a set of S-Video and composite video and audio inputs in an attractive package that's been integrated into the front-panel design.
Dell is unique in offering such a well-integrated hardware solution to assist you in converting video files, but the accompanying software is lacking. You have to go through Roxio's bundled Creator Premiere suite and muddle your way through its non-intuitive video editing options. A dedicated mini app for the specific purpose of converting video to various formats would be much preferable. We should also add that the And unless you already have or plan to buy dedicated external storage, you're also probably not going to want a redundant DataSafe hard-drive setup, as Dell sent to us.
DataSafe is essentially a RAID 1 hard-drive configuration, in which one drive acts as the mirror of the other, giving you an automatic backup drive. That's a useful feature, of course, but for a real digital-media system, you're going to want as much storage as you can get, and we don't think GB will last you that long.
Those criticisms are for the most part minor, and there's also plenty here that we like. No other desktop vendor but Apple currently offers or has announced plans to offer
