Tweak UI Power toys in Vista

Does anyone know if Microsoft plans to release power toys for Vista, I've
used Tweak UI for years and I miss some of it's tweaks, I hope they do.

Microsoft didn't release PowerToys. They were done by Microsoft employees in
their spare time (sort of a gift to the Window user community) and were
unsupported by Microsoft. Maybe the employees currently do not have any
spare time.

TweakUI has no current plans. There is a paid utility that has some free
tweaks called TweakVI which you can Google to find download locations

No need to Google around when Carlos is hanging here!

That is the freeware TweakVI 1.0 build 1050 (mid February release).

Since if I remember correctly, "Vienna" is supposed to be released in 2009 as
of right now, I don't think they'll be getting bored anytime soon.
