I admit it. I'm a Vista Junkie. I can't seem to stop installing new Vista apps, trying new Vista utilities, tweaking the Vista interface, and playing with Vista shareware and freeware. So, I figured there are probably a few more Vista Junkies out there in the world, and I thought I would share my favorite Vista apps and utilities with all of you. I'll be rotating them in and out as I find new, noteworthy shareware, freeware, and utilities, so check back often to see what I think are the best of the best.
