Ultimate Windows Tweaker updated, works on Windows 7

WinVista Club has released an update to their Ultimate Windows Tweaker, which now features more than 150 tweaks for Vista.
Windows 7 beta testers looking to do a bit of tweaking may want to try it as well. UWT worked well on my install, apart from throwing a single error message which didn't seem to impact the changes I made anyway.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
