The folks from Microsofts Channel 9 site have a new section called “Citizen Engineer”. Their first project is a step by step guide on how you can create a picture frame from an old laptop. The device uses Web Services for Devices to listen for WS-Discovery messages. Once detected it fires up a simple plug and play system automatically making the picture frame accessible on your home network. They are documenting all these projects and giving free software and source code too.

Isn't it a little expensive picture frame? My old notebook my son uses now.He doesn't agree to your proposal !

But frame web service is good idea.I agree.

You could you use for a webservice or just for displaying specific webpages or screensavers...or if u connect a tv card to it use it as a spare t/v.
