Craig,  I have been using Snipping Tool  since it ships with Windows but I will have to check this one out too.  I can't tell you how many times a day I use Snipping Tool.  It is a lifesaver.

Belinda Spillman - snipping tool for windows is also an excellent tool. However, I prefer the markup tools from Skitch if markup is something you like to also do on an image

Snag-it is the default screen shot tool on my computer, and I can add text or edit the screen shot in an editor window. Sounds like I should check out Skitch for my phone or iPad. Am I on target with that?

There are some good apps for screen capture - Skitch being part of Evernote is surely a better option for many using Evernote.

Chrome (and for that matter other browsers) have a plug-in for screen capture which can be edited like Skitch.
