Two Good Vista Features

October 4, 2007

I just found two good features of Vista. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but they are brilliant. The first one is the Snipping Tool, which I used to get the below picture. You can take a snip of a portion of the screen. It’s missing some features, like selecting a portion of the screen and having it wait x seconds to snap the picture (for example, so that you can take snippets of rollover text). The second one is the Windows Sound Mixer. If you click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and click Mixer, you get this great mixer where you can change the amplitude and/or mute any single application. Check it out below:
