And the code is released for you to poke through on GitHub.

For a moment there, I thought MS had gotten into a completely different kind of hardware.

Shame there's no modern equivalent to TweakUI in there.

I like the look of fancy zones. Means i could make it easier to split the screen i have running in portrait to 2 rows so they get half the screen each the nice way instead of the rubbish that you get at the moment in column only.

I like the winky overlay...

Not sure about fancy zones, unless you can customise individual app window sizes. I do that already my own self, but with one app taking something like 4/9ths of the lower screen overlaid onto GIS/Map views, where necessary... and several variations of other odd/unequal screen splitting.

But yeah, cool.

Which device would you opt for, a Gates, a Ballmer or a Nadella?

[Rubarb]

Power tool was just one app really and that was tweakui, the rest and what they have done here is just more junk.

I remember, back in the day, when I could be bothered with Regedit and changed the "start" menu to the "stop" menu.

Boredom. I wish I had that now.

I'd love FancyZones if it could handle more than one monitor - my second is in portrait, so needs a horizontal split between windows, but my primary is landscape.

The shortcut guide should be in normal windows, it's useful for a lot more people than just power users

I sow the new and installed it immediately. I love it
