Here are some free MS Windows enhancements.

WhizMouse - makes the mouse wheel scroll the area where the mouse is pointing instead of where the keyboard focus is (fixes one of Microsoft's big design failures)

VistaSwitcher - replacement for alt-tab. Very nice to use. Despite the name, it works on everything from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Process Explorer - replacement for task manager. So much better than the built-in task manager that Microsoft bought the whole company that made it. Highly recommended.

spotify
