Niceify your Windows with Pitaschio
Pitaschio adds a few very basic window manipulation features to Microsoft Windows which probably should have been included in the first place.

If you're unhappy with the weak feature set in Windows, Pitaschio could help close the gap.

What the heck, he's making known a Windows app that will help you do some simple UI stuff.
Beside the point of the post, Windows does suck like hell.

Yeah, it sucks that I can get it to do everything that I want and need. Don't you just hate that?
Anyway, this program is pretty nifty.

My only problem with this program is that once you don't show the systray icon anymore you can't change the options, not even from the taskbar properties or by unistalling/reinstalling. Don't show the systray icon at your own peril.
