How to screen shot vista

Yup screen capture is something that Microsoft has never built into the OS and even snipping tool is made available only to Premium and Ultimate customers.. Its a nice tool, but image editing capabilities are quite limited and so are the upload options.. Now I have started using this Vista tool. Then I would definitely suggest you to use Jing. It can upload to your ftp server as well and should save a lot of time. I have been using this tool since last several months in Vista business edition with Service pack 1.
