Got one of my daily Microsoft email newsletters today and it detailed a couple new tools from Sysinternals (the guys that bring up such great tools as filemon and procmon)

BgInfo v4.11 Released.

There’s a new version of BgInfo. BgInfo creates a background image with various information about the machine you’re working on at the moment. This is useful when you work with a large number of machines.

More info on BgInfo can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/bginfo.mspx

ZoomIt v1.71

Recently we attended the Microsoft Hosting Roadshow and some of the demonstrations on the screen were rather small. ZoomIt is a screen zoom and annotation tool for presentations allowing you to zoom in on the screen and move around while zoomed and even draw on the zoomed image.
