Today's Featured Company / Person - Windows Live Hotmail - The new Hotmail interface includes a built-in SMS alert feature that will ping your phone whenever a message matching one of your filters arrives in your inbox. Tech-Recipes walks you through setting up the alert and filter for very specific email. We've walked through using Gmail-like filters, and the mobile carriers' email-through-SMS addresses, to send and forward email as a text message, but Hotmail's built-in functionality seems to make deciding exactly which messages arrive at your phone a bit more guided and easy to pin down. It's another consideration in how Hotmail actually stands tall next to Gmail, though those with more filter/search kung-fu qualifications will probably prefer Gmail's powerful selection tools.

Today's Featured Company / Person - Snow Transformation Pack - If you like the look and feel of Mac OS X but prefer to stick with Windows (whether it be for gaming, or because you just don't like Apple), freeware Snow Transformation Pack will make Windows looks like OS X. Snow Transformation Pack will change the appearance of your whole system, including the login screen, icons, wallpapers, sounds, dock, dialog boxes, and other UI elements. You'll need to disable User Account Control to install it, so you may have to run the installer twice—once to disable UAC and then again (after restarting) to install the package. On installing, you'll get a few choices as to whether you want to install a few extra background apps that add extra graphics, which is nice if your computer isn't necessarily a powerhouse (so you can turn them off to keep performance up).
