Planet Vistas -- New Windows Freeware

Hi all,

Planet Vistas displays the solar system on your Windows desktop
background in real time. The renderings are both beautiful and
accurate. Watch shadows transit Jupiter, see today's sunspots, or
follow a Lunar eclipse.

Best of all, Planet Vistas is is free!

Clear skies,

Not free as in 'free to modify' but 'free of cost', though any 5.5MB
download which requires a reboot and "will expire on January 1, 2007"
isn't welcome on my desktop. YMMV.

Yes, that would be the generally accepted meaning of the word, "free."

As used in this example: "give your hard work away 'free' to some
insensitive jerk who slams you for doing so."

One wonders that the fool would suppose to have it that length of time
without an update. I dare say the author is breathing a sigh of relief
that there is one less pecker to moider him for all his hard work.
