If you think you might like the IE 8 Accelerators feature, you will absolutely LOVE KallOut.

As shown on http://kallout.com/product_tour.html, KallOut offers many more accelerator pages and it offers them in floating palettes that work for selections that you do inside any of the following apps:

1. IE 6, 7, 8
2. Firefox 2, 3
3. Microsoft Office Apps: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Notepad, WordPad
4. Microsoft Outlook
5. Adobe Reader

We are also in the midst of adding support for Google Chrome in our next release.

This means that just about every major Windows app (with Mac Apps coming soon) supports a suite of Best-of-Breed Content Providers in a dynamic, context-sensitive, BestGuess Menu that suggests the ideal KallOut not just those showing Microsoft products.

Clearly, KallOut’s shipping product is superior to this initial entry from Microsoft in the Selection-based Search category.

Please try it out and let us know what you think.

Thanks,
