Wink - the presentation screen capture software

Do you need to record a video of using a software application? Maybe for a presentation, maybe for eLearning, maybe for support to explain how to do something? There are a number of commercial programs that can do this, such as Adobe Captivate. Of course the real problem with those is that they cost money! What about something free that's just as good?

Wink
It is free and easy to use. You can record your screen activity, the mouse pointer is recorded and once you finish, all the activity appears in Wink as separate frames of the video. It's a series of screen shots which makes it easy to edit. You can also annotate your video with text bubbles and add audio commentary. The resulting file you create can be either Flash SWF or EXE. The EXE file is great because it's standalone, you can send it by e-mail.

Conclusion
I've used Wink a lot recently, to make support videos and demonstrate bugs when software testing. The best thing is that Wink is easy to use. It's easy to make a video of some on screen actions very quickly. I recommend it!

What does the RT in Windows RT mean?

The "RT" in Windows RT stands for RunTime. It is because Windows RT is designed to run on lower power ARM processor tablets. A smaller runtime version of Windows 8 will be used, hence the name. Windows RT won't have the power of a full Windows 8 capable Intel x86 processor computer. But the Windows RT models will be cheaper and capable of doing the same as iPads and Android tablets today.

Here are a couple of interesting links about Windows RT and Windows 8:
