And let’s not forget, Microsoft is finally addressing those pesky IME toolbars. Looks like someone at Microsoft finally said, ‘Enough is enough!’ But beware, even your mouse pointer might be getting a makeover. Grab your popcorn, folks, because updating Windows just got a whole lot more interesting!
