Windows 8 BluePoison
UNlock Windows 8 and Office 15 with Windows 8 BluePoison

If you have jumped on the developer preview version of Windows 8 that have been made publically available you have no doubt been eagerly awaiting the release of not only the completed version of the operating system, but also tweaking tool that will enable you to customize and control the OS. This is where BluePoison could help, making it possible to make changes to not only Windows 8, but also Office 15.

From within the app you can download the very latest version of the Windows 8 Developer Preview as well as the preview version of Office 15. Once you have the operating system, office suite, or both installed, you can started to take advantage of the features provided by BluePoison.

The application enables you to unlock the ordinarily hidden Applications folder and enabling the classic Start menu. There is also the option of using a number of new themes and colour schemes as well as the ability to enable Windows 8’s snap feature on screen smaller than would normally be allowed.

At the moment, the options available in BluePoison are a little on the limited side, but it needs to be remembered that Windows 8 has not even been officially released yet. This is definitely an app to keep an eye on although at the moment it is more of a curiosity for the early adopter that an essential installation.

Verdict:

An interesting tool for early adopters of Windows 8, but at the moment it’s not an essential tool.

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
