With multiple monitors you can more easily layout and maximize different applications on different monitors (though a program like GridMove helps a lot if you are using one big one).-mouser (November 16, 2011, 02:42 PM)

How about something like HTTrack? It can filter by file type, so you can point it at a website and have it download just the pdf files, if that is all you want. And it can update your local copy, downloading only what is new since the last time you downloaded the site.-app103 (November 11, 2011, 05:26 AM)

SIW has now gone down the OpenCandy route for the home version - so for me that is the end of a useful tool :-(-Carol Haynes (November 07, 2011, 12:43 PM)

Of course, that's the reason that it always rubs me the wrong way when a peripherally connected story that could be a thread in its own right is posted in another thread.-wraith808 (November 03, 2011, 07:42 PM)
The inside story of how Microsoft killed its Courier tablet
by Jay Greene November 1, 2011 5:01 AM PDT
Steve Ballmer had a dilemma. He had two groups at Microsoft pursuing competing visions for tablet computers.
One group, led by Xbox godfather J Allard, was pushing for a sleek, two-screen tablet called the Courier that users controlled with their finger or a pen. But it had a problem: It was running a modified version of Windows.
That ran headlong into the vision of tablet computing laid out by Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division. Sinofsky was wary of any product--let alone one from inside Microsoft's walls--that threatened the foundation of Microsoft's flagship operating system. But Sinofsky's tablet-friendly version of Windows was more than two years away.
For Ballmer, it wasn't an easy call. Allard and Sinofsky were key executives at Microsoft, both tabbed as the next-generation brain trust. So Ballmer sought advice from the one tech visionary he's trusted more than any other over the decades--Bill Gates. Ballmer arranged for Microsoft's chairman and co-founder to meet for a few hours with Allard; his boss, Entertainment and Devices division President Robbie Bach; and two other Courier team members.
