"because all Microsoft is really doing is hiding complexity, not removing it" - and an interesting criticism of OSX UI philosophy

It has a "set it and forget it" feature similar to Diskeeper, here based on "idle time" instead of "screensaver", and it can stop if the CPU goes over a certain threshold. Free, but it seems to use a little bit more of memory than DK. I think it can be recommended

It's supposed to bring some nice Vista features to your XP Explorer. but I haven't used Vista much, so to me it just makes my Explorer work more like my Firefox : tabs, breadcrumbs, plugins, skins.. and it doesn't waste ressources ! Use it with Taskix !

A pretty good "widget engine" actually.. very lightweight (that's how they SHOULD all be), with a couple of clever features... maybe it's lacking more "widgets". I would use it, if I wasn't already using Thunderbird & Miranda for what it does.

mini useful tool -> good to be used with slickrun

Simple, small, ugly silly stupid game, but the ai/physics makes it hilarious. Should be renamed to Drunk Sumotori, because they're so clumsy :p

coverflow clone for windows

c'est bourrin comme solution quand même ...

"installs Linux on top of your Windows operating system, allowing the two to exist side by side and even interact with one another."

A Windows Shell Alternative

"It is a CD that contains all the updates found on the Windows Update Website, including Service Pack 2, with a small standalone programs that run the updates in the order specified by Microsoft according to the order set by Microsoft."

j'y ai jamais joué, je connaissais que de nom en fait, mais ça a l'air vachement sympa :D faudra que j'essaye

free alternative to nero

"a simple but powerful hard disk analyser. Using a sophisticated mix of graphs, tables and tree displays, it gives the user a complete overview of the contents of a hard disk"

Defragmenter that allows to defrag only certain files (might be useful for videogames, for example ;) )

"offline update 3.0 script collection downloads the entire body of updates for Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003 from Microsoft's servers in one fell swoop and then uses them to create patch packages on CD, DVD or USB stick."

"tactical RTS game that put's you in command of a small fleet of warships in space. Combat and damage mechanics are extremely detailed. Everything is simulated in game if possible. There are no abitrary "to hit chance" values in Battleships Forever."

a curious application that intercepts "write" operations to hard-disk and store them in a "sandbox"... it allows to run applications in a "safe" environment without modifiying your hd... might be useful
