Growl Would Like to Notify You That It is Available for Windows

Growl is an open source notification application for Mac that enables suitably considerate applications to send you on-screen notifications. This very popular Mac app is available on the Windows platform in the form of Growl for Windows. Like its Mac equivalent it is totally free to download and use and comes recommended.

The main difference between the Windows and Mac version is that the Windows version is considerably clunkier to use. To add an application to your Growl notifications you have to download a separate application and install it, so for instance to get Gmail notifications running you have to download the Gmail notifier app, install it and then have it running whenever Growl is. In every other regard it works just as well though, with configurable balloon alerts appearing on screen according to your preferences.
