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. Makes typing áàâåāčçöµ© much easier.
