There doesn't appear to be any proper place for posting Data Dashboard product ideas, so I'll leave this here and it can be moved if necessary.
Data dashboard is a great application that makes portable and continuously monitoring of remote systems more easily accessible. However, Data Dashboard on Windows platforms must be running in the foreground to display shared variables. It would be convenient if Data Dashboard could pin live tiles to the start menu, while periodically poling for variable updates. In this way users would no longer need to constantly launch or switch to the Data Dashboard app.
The nature of Data Dashboard seems to mesh well with the "information at a glance" mantra of the live tile interface. Seems like a missed opportunity to me and I would love to see this implemented in the future.
