Sure,
there are loads of free screen capture tools, but this is not another
cheesy, spreadsheet-looking one. This one offers directness, ease of
use, and does it with style.
You may ask, what's wrong with Microsoft's ownSnipping Tool?
It's great, but unfortunately restricted to
the Windows Tablet PC Edition, and some versions of Vista. Also, Snipping
Tool fails to capture overlay windows (those translucent windows
mostly used by desktop gadgets).
