Stardock Releases New WinXP Tools
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Stardock has issued two important Windows XP-related releases; the first will help users ensure that they're getting the best video performance from Windows XP, while the second is a final beta release of the company's much-anticipated OS skinning application. The first application, XBench, is freely available from the Stardock Web site. It addresses an issue the company discovered early in the XP beta, where most video drivers were poorly handling the new 2D features in the XP shell--such as alpha blending fade effects and shadows.
