Windows Vista Update

There are going to inevitably going to be a bunch of optimizing tools for Windows Vista and as soon as they come out, we'll keep you posted.

There is one tool out there already claiming to optimize beta versions of Windows Vista, it's called Tweak Vista.

We applaud their aggressiveness for getting into the Vista optimizing business early and we hope the product continues to get better as Vista evolves.

Here's some of the documentation from their site..

On the DWM tab, you can unleash the powers of the Display Window Manager, Windows Vista's fresh new user interface.

The Envionment tab allows you to view and customize environment variables.

The Search tab customizes the search engines available to IE7 and lets you add your own.

The UAP tab can be used to modify some of the prompts Vista displays when various actions attempt to execute on the system. For instance, you can enable a prompt for authorized credentials when performing a protected action.

This build of TweakVista has been tested against the Windows Vista December CTP (build 5270). Future CTP's may change in functionality and require a new TweakVista build.
