Segway to talk about Vista and Groove

At Tech Ed I was working with Shawn LeProsse and tablet PC specialist and someone who believes in Vista like myself. Well you never know what you'll learn hanging with other like minded people but Shawn blew me away with the Snipper tool in Vista I didn't eve know existed. We all love to copy and pas things but depending on whether it's par of a web site or pdf or whatever there is usually some annoyance to getting the job done effectively. Well with the Snipper tool that all changes dramatically (I'll also be looking at going tablet pc much sooner).





In the Vista start menu type Snipper and you're on your way to using the quickest grab and go piece of software that is so easy to use it's a shame people didn't know about it (till now).





And if you are using a pen you can free hand draw the required detail you want to grab.





Let's me show you how nicely this works:
I opened Snipper. It drapes the whole screen and then you need only grab the mouse and choose your desired snippet and then you are given an option to paste, email or save right away. It's just that simple.
