Windows Vista only: Tweak your Vista boot configuration with VistaBootPRO, an easy-to-use alternative to the command-line bcdedit.exe utility.

Windows Vista only: The Windows Help program lets Vista read no-longer-supported Windows help files saved in the Windows Help format (.hlp).

Windows only: Read your RSS feeds and listen to podcasts from the comfort of your couch with Media Center RSS Reader, a plug-in for Windows Media Center.
