Those windows better watch out, there's a new spy in town

WindowWatcher is a free hybrid window magnifier and remote control spy. It gives Windows the ability to have proper and resizable picture-in-picture support above and beyond Aero Snap. It's great for watching stuff like online TV, streams or Youtube playlists in a small corner of your workspace while working in the rest of it. It's also a fantastic help for tasks that would otherwise require flicking back and forth between windows, or to provide a simple pop-out viewer for websites and apps that don't have their own.

Features

Multiple Views

Views of different sizes, views of different windows, even views of views for the suitably meta people.

Flexible Zoom

Select a part of the view, then resize the WindowWatcher window to enlarge the view 2x, 4x, 5.7x, any desired size.

Integration

What's different about WindowWatcher though, is that even after magnification you can still interact with the view as if you were using the window itself. Keeping up with Twitter-ing or Facebook-ing without missing a beat for example.

Portability

Download, slap it on a USB stick and take it anywhere you want.

System Requirements

WindowWatcher requires Windows Vista, 7, or 8 and DWM to be enabled. It's disk, cpu, and memory footprints are negligable so there's no need to worry about it bloating your computer or slowing it down.
