The verdict is on my windows PeekDesktop utility that brings more Mac features to Windows: "surely that’s indicative of user’s inability to organize. It’s like a desk full of crap that you cannot bring yourself to cleanup. Peek encourages more of that. Microsoft vice president should know better."

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

PeekDesktop — Tiny Tool Town 🏘️ Click your Windows desktop wallpaper to peek at it - just like macOS Sonoma.

Mac has that cool feature where you click the desktop and all the apps get out of the way, you can drag stuff, and then click back and they'll restore. I made that for Windows. Please test www.tinytooltown.com/tools/peekde...

 Mounir IDRASSI - 2 days ago

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I have regained access to my Microsoft Partner Center account. Mr Scott Hanselman's intervention was key to getting this issue resolved and I am very grateful to him.

A big thank you as well to the community whose support helped trigger widespread media coverage of this issue affecting me and other security projects. It feels good to see the positive power of social media in making our voices heard.

Now I can finally prepare the long-overdue upcoming release. I will share timeline updates in the coming days.

Hi Joseph,

I wanted to let you know that I have regained access to Microsoft Partner Center portal following the intervention of Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman who connected me with relevant Microsoft people.

Media coverage like yours was very helpful to get my case heard. I really appreciate that.

Mounir IDRASSI
