Windows Confidential: Scrapping the Scraps

Remember desktop patterns? (You know, those dizzying repeating patterns, with names like houndstooth and thatch, that used to let you jazz up and "personalize" your Windows desktop.)  Or how about the indispensable Scraps feature? Well, most people probably don't remember this one -- and apparently didn't even know it was there back when Scraps was a shipping feature.

Well in the February installment of Windows Confidential, Raymond Chen looks at these features and explains how features quietly disappear from existence.

Pop Quiz: How many people called the product support group with questions about scraps? Raymond looked into this and has the answer.
