Ultimate List of Free Windows Software from Microsoft

Microsoft has over 150 FREE Windows XP, Windows Vista & Office Programs available for download -- finding them all is extremely difficult . . . until now.

I thought the Font Tool sounded good, tried to download it but couldn't as it says it's only for a tablet PC.

Here are two that are free.

This one is very nice with lots of options.
http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontViewer.php

Works good but...Latest Version: 0.80 (beta 2), 22 Dec 1999 so not going to be updated anytime soon.

You can get the install or no install version of both.

I'm looking for some kind of free download that isn't a "temporary trial" of some kind of a program that sorts, and displays icons. I already have a program that changes and touches up icons. I just want something simple, really, and I am a poor guy that can't afford to buy one! I'd appreciate any help. Thanks-TK
