Annotation:

I installed Envy, runned it and my Nvidia drivers where updated. I noticed an improvement of my screen quality. So a good thing this app!

Netvibes

A new tool at least according to my knowledge. Very interesting indeed: all your RSS feeds, blogmarks, bookmarks (from your local IE or Fireox installation), weather forecast, webnotes, Gmail and POP3/IMAP mail accounts and much more can be showed on one page with a max of four colums.
This is realy an Ajax application as you can drag and replace the different modules over and back so that it suits your needs!
Have a look to Netvibes!!.
Trilling!
