Finally the port of gpsd is working on Windows.Yuo can read more about it @ http://home.arcor.de/ulf.lamping/gpsd/gpsd.html#mozTocId282581
This is a pretty important development because quite a few gps's only work on Windows and this allows you to stream nmea data to various Linux GPS software which have been ported on Windows.

On Windows XP and other variants of Windows , you can get rid of double clicking .By default when you want to execute an application by clicking on the desktop or in Windows explorer you have to double click it.
But if you want to reduce the number of times you click  your mouse , you can change this default behaviour by Enabling single click in Windows Explorer.
Here are the instructions to Enable single click.

1. Open Windows Explorer(Not internet Explorer) by pressing the Win+E key or by typing explorer in Start->Run
2. Click on Tools in the menu
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Check the radio button "Single Click to open am item(point to select)"
5. Then check the radio button "Underline icon titles only when I point at them"

This will significantly reduce your double clicks.This option is applicable to the Windows Desktop also.

For a long time there was a gap with any decent GPL alternative for burning/authoring DVD/CD's on Microsoft Windows.
InfraRecorder fills that gap.
