A new version of the Windows Vista tweaking software Tweak Vi has been released two days ago with several new functions added to the software. Take a look at the list of fixes below to get an overview of what has been changed.

There aren’t that many useful Vista sidebar gadgets available at the windows marketplace at the moment. I never quite understood why someone would want to add another clock for instance to the sidebar, does not make that much sense to me. One way to change the relative uselessness of the Windows Vista sidebar is to use the Amnesty Generator to convert web widgets to sidebar gadgets.

I always liked the concept of the program Autopatcher which is available for Windows XP. This tool is basically a collection of all fixes and patches for Windows XP which can all be automatically added to the operating system without connecting to a official Microsoft website and downloading them from there. Very convenient, just download one file, execute it and your Windows is up to date.

You normally do not run into troubles when you only install or run Windows Vista on a computer. If you run a multi-boot system however you might face some serious problems depending on the order of installation that you choose. I for one had a problem on my triple boot system that was running Windows XP. I decided to install Ubuntu and afterwards Windows Vista.

Tweak Vi is another Windows Vista Tweaking Tool that is available in three different versions. The so called basic version is free for everyone and has a reduced functionality compared to the premium and ultimate version. Tweak Vi is using plugins to tweak Windows Vista. The basic version offers 13 free plugins while the premium version offers 8 additional plugins and the ultimate version another 7 additional plugins compared to the premium version.

I thought that I start my Windows Vista Tweaks blog by writing about all the Vista Tweak Softwares that are available on the Internet. Three months have passed since the initial release of Windows Vista and there are only a handful of applications that tweak the new Microsoft operating system. The first program that I’m going to analyze is called Tweak Vista by the Stardock Creation.
