Google Chrome OS is an open source project to develop a lightweight computer operating system. Announced on July 7, 2009, it is set to be released during the second half of 2010. This project is all about the web. All apps are web apps. The entire experience takes place within the browser and there are no conventional desktop applications. This means users do not have to deal with installing, managing and updating programs.

Of course almost everyone around here knows the new Windows 7 features Aero Shake and AeroPeek.

WinShake is very small and fast program to bring these Windows 7 features to Windows XP and Vista. Version 2.20 includes a lot of smaller improvements, on top of two all new functions!
