Giveaway of the Day: Hide Window Plus
Today’s freebie at Giveaway of the Day might be useful for the small screen; Hide Window Plus hides windows or groups of windows in a moment’s notice. This is one feature I like on the Mac, a ‘command-H’ hides a window and doesn’t clutter the Dock. Now, you can have the same feature on a Windows device: no extra clutter in your Taskbar or System Tray!
After reading through the product page, I’d say this application is more suited for keyboard users but it’s a safe bet that you can assign the hide and restore functions to a hardware button on most Tablets or UMPCs. That’s where I’d think this would be really handy: if you’ve only got a 7-inch screen to work with, you don’t need to load up the Taskbar or tray with bunches of running apps; simply hide ‘em! You’ll have to download and activate Hide Window Plus today, otherwise, the full price is $19.95.
Hmm, not as useful as Workspaces in Linux, which will be called “Spaces” when Apple puts it in Leopard.
Gee, I’ll bet anyone who bought this on Bitsdujour.com last Monday for “50% off” — thinking they were getting a great deal — would be bummed to find out it’s being given away for free today.
This has a virus in it…at least my soft reported so…
