Software Update: WinSnap 2.0.6

WinSnap is a program for the Windows 2000/XP/Vista platform that allows you to take and edit screenshots. Of course you can also use the PrintScreen button in combination with Microsoft Paint, but then you miss quite a few functionalities, according to the developers of WinSnap.
