• Codestriker - Open-sourced web-based code review tool written in Perl. (via dzone)
• Identicons - Ported from Java Servlet to HttpHandler - Cute, though I'm not convinced there's huge utility to trying to identify people by hashed IP address.
• ALZip 6.7 - Apparently competing on features is passe; this compression utility bills itself as "the cutest" available. Free for home users.
• Microsoft Photo Info - New tool from Microsoft for editing photo metadata from inside of Explorer.

• Microsoft Sample Pack for System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory Namespace - Active Directory programming samples for .NET developers.
• Clipboard Manager Software - Travis Illig surveys the market
• �Scout� for Office 2007: search commands - Looks like that Ribbon UI may not be so intuitively discoverable after all, eh?
