The latest cards from ATI stomp all over nVidia…for half the price! Also, in my personal experience, ATI’s Vista drivers seem to be more stable than nVidia’s. Ars also has a first look at the upcoming AMD+ATI Shrike chip that includes an on-die GPU.

I have long had Exposé (Mac OS X) envy. Now you can get the love on Windows Vista with Switcher:
I would recommend editing shortcuts to add the mouse-in-the-screen-corner shortcut to better emulate the Mac Exposé behavior:

Excellent tool. It also works great on a Windows Server 2008 workstation.
