Google Chrome – now on Windows 2000

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Apparently there’s now an unofficial way to make Google Chrome run on Windows 2000. This is pretty cool if you’re still running 2000 somewhere (say on a laptop) for whatever reason. There are some odd warnings with it, but nothing you can’t live with, apparently.

Virtual Desktops for Windows » Dexpot

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Ages ago I started writing an article about things that Windows should blatantly steal for Windows 7.  I never actually finished it, which is why I’ve never published it here, but one of the list I’ve wanted for ages is Virtual Desktops, similar to Linux.

Well, there’s a small freeware (€10 for commercial use) application called “Dexpot” which pretty much does just that.  Almost exactly what it says on the tin, in fact.  It even lets you customise the desktop icons of the running programs too.  Pretty cool.

Oh and for those of you running Windows NT 4 or 2000 still (and why not – they still work), you’ll be glad to know that Dexpot is happy running on both those operating systems  :-)
