Clarifications to Ars Technica’s review of Windows Live Toolbar

Hey Jeremy,

Thanks for the review today. But here are two small corrections:

Windows Live Toolbar for IE released
The latest utility to escape from Redmond Labs is the Windows Live Toolbar, which has just come out of beta.

Technically this escaped from the Silicon Valley Labs. The Toolbar team is based here in Mountain View. But hey, I get that everyone associates Microsoft with Redmond and vice versa. (Just look at Redmond magazine - it’s not about living in Redmond, that’s for sure.)

The Windows Live Toolbar features a plethora of tools by default, including the aforementioned search bar, a phishing filter based on the Windows OneCare Advisor, a picture and web page archiving tool called Onfolio, an RSS feed button, tabbed browsing, context-sensitive right-click menus for highlighted text, and quick access to maps and directions.

The part I put in italics is probably about Smart Menus. To be clear, you don’t need to right-click anything for them to appear. In fact - one of the ideas behind this feature was to eliminate the need to right click - all you have to do is select the text you’re interested in.
Check out the videos on this page to learn more about Smart Menus. Maybe I should’ve called them “No more right clicks”
