Years ago, there used to be an applet called (perhaps) Zoom or ZoomIn that
shipped with the SDKs. The applet acted as a magnifier that could be drug
around the screen and it would magnify whatever is was over. This was
especially useful for seeing the exact pixel representation of controls.
Does anyone know if this is still around for download and what is it called?
Also whether is works with XP, etc?

I don't know about XP, but this is included as part of Vista. If you go
to Control Panel / Ease of Access Center, you'll see an option to "Start
Magnifier". I expect it's there in XP too if you have a hunt around.
