Vista Snipping Tool

Those who are Vista pros might consider this a little silly but FINALLY Microsoft has created a useful tool for screen capture. Just recently I figured out what it was and it was actually useful.

You can type Snipping into the start search bar or go to 'All Programs’ then ‘Accessories’ then ‘Snipping tool’

With this tool you can cut blocks from the screen or even do a free form draw with the mouse. While the tool is modest and simple and there are better tools out there you can buy, this is a cool new tool that is free is all versions of Vista but Home Basic (that is another gripe story for another time).
