Tip
There’s much more free Microsoft software available to Windows XP gluttons. For example, you’ll have a lot of fun trying out the popular PowerToys package (programs produced after the operating system’s release), the Windows Media Bonus pack, and additional screen savers. You’ll find them all here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/default.asp.
