Snipping Tool in Vista

I made the plunge yesterday into Windows Vista Ultimate. I can't believe how different the UI is. I have found some things I like and hate and I'll blog about them some other day, but if you haven't upgraded yet you may not know that Vista contains an application called Snipping Tool. This is basically a SnagIt type tool that simply allows Free Form, Window, Rectangle and Screen snippets to be captured. I'm sure TechSmith isn't too thrilled about Microsoft including this feature in Vista. At this point I'm not sure whether or not I'll even install SnagIt, as the Snipping Tool is very easy to use. I just dropped in my quick launch where it can be launched easily and when you're done it shuts down so it doesn't eat up system resources.

Have a good weekend,

Chris
