Microsoft’s Free Windows XP Virtual PC Image Is Back!

It was exactly three weeks ago when Microsoft released a Virtual PC image that had a pre-activated version of Windows XP on it. The reason they posted it was because a lot of people were complaining that they had no way to run Internet Explorer 6 and 7 on the same machine.

Creating websites is no easy task if you are trying to make it cross-browser compatible. Especially since you have to keep in mind old versions of Web browsers because not everyone upgrades right away.

Must Have: Undo Close Tab Extension For Firefox

From the title of the article you are probably thinking that this is an extension that will add a feature to undo recently closed tabs. There's no need for that because Firefox 2 already has that built-into the browser. The problem is that the feature isn't very configurable and there is no easy way to quickly retrieve closed tabs.

Zoho Brings Interactivity With Microsoft Office

Coincidentally Zoho just released a plug-in that almost does what many of us were talking about in the comments yesterday on the Google Spreadsheets post. The plug-in is for Microsoft Office and will allow you to save and open your Microsoft Word/Excel documents to Zoho from within the application itself. So you could look at Zoho almost as being another storage spot on your hard drive.

CyberNotes: Getting Your Taskbar Onto Another Monitor

I have been using my laptop as a second monitor for a few weeks now and it has made me more productive than ever. Instead of using my small 14" laptop screen as the primary monitor I prefer to use my 24" LCD as the main one because my laptop is off to the right of me and I only glance it once in awhile.

Capture The Moment With Flickr Time

This is one of the more unique Flickr websites that I have found. Flickr Time lets you enter in a few tags and it will retrieve images from Flickr. Nothing special, right? It will actually take those images and assemble the current time with thumbnails. I know, it still doesn't sound cool...but you haven't tried it.
