I hardly use Windows XP any more, but it can be made slightly more bearable by installing these:
- TXMouse gives you middle-click paste and focus follow.
- AllSnap gives you snappy window edges.
- Yoink nifty things off the web from the command-line with wget for windows. See Quicktime for how to yoink Apple trailers.
- Get your X-style compose key with [freecompose http://code.google.com/p/freecompose/]. Makes typing áàâåāčçöµ© much easier.
