I wish I had seen this website long time ago... MS Windows have this really useful utility to increase the readability of fonts specially on LCD monitors. Please go check the following website : http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx You need to use Internet Explorer to make this work. 2008/07/21 Update This also applies to Vista. I just upgraded one of my laptops and it was quite hard to read screen display both on the laptop and when docked with default settings. Tuning did help quite a lot.

I have come across this post today and it seems interesting. It allows you to run Macintosh upto 7.5. There is a sample image here . I had difficulty following the instruction from minivmac site due to .sim.bin file that I can't manipulate in Windows. Even Stuffit Expander does not really help when running in Windows.

Nxclient for windows from http://www.nomachine.com/ does not seem to forward Alt+Tab key sequence. To fix this problem download and run a utility from http://ssrini.netfirms.com/.

Favorite: Cryptainer LE o Easy to use o Haven't tried other products yet. Cryptainer LE is software that can create multiple encrypted containers. It functions like any other drive (C: or D:) on your computer. Just drag and drop any file into the Cryptainer. It is automatically encrypted. It's that simple! Cryptainer files can only be viewed, accessed, browsed or modified by the user who has the key to open it. At other times it remains invisible.
