Since I don't really know the new features of 8.1, I'm asking here.

I have 8.1 installed on two computers.
When I installed 8.1 on the new computer, it automatically chose Spleak's DDP which I had stolen using StuffPlug.
I though that it did that so that you wouldn't lose "paid" DDPs when you change computers.
Anyway, I changed my DP to the Palm Trees DP.

When I signed in using the other computer that had 8.1, it also used the palm trees DP!
I didn't really care, since I though that it was random and changed my DP to the old one.
Today, when I signed in on the other 8.1 computer, it had the DP I had in the other 8.1 computer!


Any more info about this?

i found out about this when i formatted, becasuse a couple seconds after i signed in it loaded the dp i had before. and i didnt have backups what so ever

i really like the feature (for once ms has done something right)

Now your display picture and personal message will follow you too. If you would prefer they stayed in place you can turn this off (Tools->Options->General -> Sign In -> "Use the same display picture....")

Aha.

Thanks
