A look at Bumptop Beta 15 ! [ IMAGES ]

Hello Humanoids . My P.C. again went for some servicing and i wasted 500 INR yet again, but there were no alternatives . Right , so i opened my email box and received email from Bumptop since i signed up for a beta ages ago , its still an invitation beta and they have asked not the share the invitational code , so don't even ask about it . Though , its gonna spread like wild fire when someone not smart enough leaks it out .

I have 15 minutes with me to write this post , so what i am thinking is instead of writing a review - (which i would love to) , I should post some screen shots in the form of a slide show , so you can at least have some idea of how Bump Top is turning out to be .

I recently posted about the Bump Top alternative Real Desktop , do read it .

Here is the slide show of the screen shots i took of Bumptop Beta 15 :

Stay tuned in for more ,

Make your desktop 3D via Real Desktop!

Hello Humanoids . Hmm ,I am basically tired of people telling me that Bumptop's gonna arrive , its the next big thing and its gonna make your desktop like never before but its been in (invitational )  beta for ages . But my search for an alternative , made me come across this great software :

Imagine kicking the icons with your Recycle Bin !  Fun , eh ?   Though the biggest problem is lack of customization . In other words , you cant add or edit any damn thing except rotating the icons, while if you spend a buck on them you get tons of interesting features and this is where Bumptop gets ahead of this application , tragic . Another bad point is the shiny blue background , darn my eyes .The graphics don't look so cool ,  this must be an old software but the graphics aren't so bad , but hey we are in 2008 , buzz .   And remember one important thing ,  the activation key can work on 3 PCs simultaneously ! Remember to have at least 512 MB Ram on your Vista and 256 on your XP otherwise its gonna be tough running this thing !
