There's Useful Software In Windows, Who Knew?

So everyone says Macs are better, buy a Mac! Well, i strongly agree with that. But i don't have a Mac, so that changes the subject altogether. Their are some very useful third party software for Windows.

One program that totally copies Mac, well 3 programs, are RKLauncher, Objectdock, and Rocketdock. They can also do the stacks function with the stacks plug-in. These programs are very very helpful for windows, especially if you don't want clutter on your desktop, i have nothing on my desktop and i use RKLauncher as my start menu.

Another program that i use daily is Launchy. It is like the search in vista and spotlight on Mac, its searches as you type, for everything in your drivers. I personally use this at least 30+ times a day. My opinion is, is that it is 10 times better than the Vista search. You can download skins, plug-ins, and you can also set your own hot-keys.

Have you ever wanted to be notified when you get an Email, notifications from Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn, and tweets from twitter? Have you ever wanted to chat on all of your IM's (instant messengers)? Well you can now, with Digsby!! It supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, IRC, Jabber, and the Facebook chat. It supports the following emails: Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, and IMAP and POP. The social networks it supports are Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Do you like to listen to music? Do you like to go on the internet? If you do then Songbird is the program for you. The reason why I'm posting this program is because well you can do 2 things in one program. Actually, you can add so many add-ons for Songbird, there are add-ones being added for it every day. One little extra you can do is search other peoples blogs and websites and you can download their music that's on that page. You can customize Songbird as much as you want, you can get themes, which are called feathers to give full customization. I have customize Songbird to be an exact look alike to iTunes.

Have you ever wanted to download music videos or extract the audio from videos? Well here's you chance! Just download TubeTilla, what happens is, is that you download the FLV file and you have to either keep it as FLV or convert it to MP4, MP3, WMV, DIVX, XVID, MPEG, or MOV all in the same program!! Also, you can change the name before you convert it.

Another very useful software i use a lot is a media converter. This one i think does the most out of all the converters I've tried. It is called WM Converter. You can convert, merge, split, or process any bit of content into WMV, MP4, MPG, AVI, FLV, 3GP, and MP3. You can convert the content into the following content: Good, Better, Low, Custom, and the Default. You can convert multiple media at the same time. Also, you can choose the input and output folders. All you have to do is, drag the content into WM Converter and click your options, and your all done. Its the easiest converter i have ever used!

Here is a useful tool if you want to get rid of a bit of space. If your like me, you want to have the most space you can have. You may know this program, its called CCleaner. I run mine about twice a day and each time i do so, i remove about 60MB. You can choose the programs and folders you want to clean out. First off, what you to do is go to Cleaner, and adjust your settings, then click Analyze then click Run Cleaner. Next, you go to Registry, and click the options you want to scan, then click Scan For Issues, after it scans click Fix Selected Issues. Then a confirm window will pop up saying, Fix Issue or Fix All Issues, click one and then click close.
