If I was manager of a company (or the CEO, head honcho, boss, whatever you call 'em) I wouldn't switch to Vista until the first service release. I'm curious, has Stardock switched, or planning to fully switch to Vista in the near future? I know some of you guys have been working with it almost full-time for a while now but it's not the same thing.
I find it funny when people say that now with IE7 out there's no reason to use FF any more - what exactly are the reasons to use IE7? As far as I'm concerned if I'm going to switch back to IE I'll need a damn good reason to do that, and having features that barely come close to what FF offers just ain't gonna cut it. Sure IE7 is light years ahead of IE6 but after 5 years that is the bare minimum I'd expect. There's just absolutely nothing that IE7 does
In some ways I wish you would do what MS don't and scrap the backwards compatibility. I understand why you aren't, but it would be nice to see what WB could do on Vista without being constrained by older formats. Same goes for MS really. One day eh? Well from what it says above I don't think that mak
No, Flip 3D has been in there for awhile now. It's Windows+Tab instead of Alt+Tab. So does Alt+Tab still exist?

I think this is a good thing for the community overall. It gives more exposure to WindowBlinds, gadgets and skinning in general and it gives more credibility, in the eyes of some people, by making it more "official", i.e. taking it from the realm of a niche product used by few hardcore fans to a commercial product with, what will hopefully become, wider distribution and consequently wider exposure and adoption by the general public. Well that was droll
The new design looks really great! Much cleaner and more appealing. For some reason though I don't see the screenshot for the new gallery view is it only me?

So now that Alienware is Dell's bi... property, will you guys be providing similar packages to Dell's computers? That would really bring skinning to the masses.
Nice writeup, it's good to see that the programs I use work fine Btw, the PC-Cillin you have, is that a European version or something, as I never heard of PC-Cillin 14 but the interface on the screenshot looks exactly like PC-Cillin 2006 that I have? Are you going to do a similar look at games? I'd be interested to know about game compatibility a
So the new definition of freedom of speech is "you can say whatever you want as long as the goverment thinks it's fine"... yeah... I'm not the paranoid type but certain trends are taking place in US and UK that if are not stopped we are seriously looking at a "big brother" situtation.
Woa! I made Brad realize something... there should be an award for that or something Let me play the devil's advocate here for a second, for real this time (that's already two Keanu Reeves reference, I'm so ashamed) First of all, does WB really take only 2MB? 'Cause I gotta tell you, RightClick takes about 3-4MB and that's probably the lightest t
While I see where Brad is coming from I have to say I strongly disagree. The only reason more people are not into skinning is because they don't know what they're missing, and no wonder. After all, why would you want to pay $20 dollars to enhance your productivity and set yourself even a tiny bit apart from the drones in the cubicles around you? What people need is simple, out-of-the-box access to high quality skinning tools and the only ones that can
It's funny, just last week I was telling a friend of mine that youtube and google should merge 'cause I keep getting confused about where I saw "that cool video you just gotta check out", was youtube or google video. Personally I'm all for this deal. YouTube has the community and the tech (favorite videos, related videos, subscriptions - google video doe
Since you're being generous and sharing with us your experience I have something I've been wondering about - you know how sometimes in XP if you try rename or move something, which is being used by another program at the time, like an open text file or something, there'll be a popup saying the file is being used, okay well, does that popup in Vista specify which program or process is using said file?
What I wanna is why they still got Paint in there?! Nobody uses that POS, just get rid of it and spare everyone the misery. And while at it they should get rid of Notepad too.

Last paragraph of the article: "For some people, if the answer isn't in the first few results it might as well not be there," said Gary Price, founder and editor of the ResourceShelf blog and director of online resources at Ask.com.

Darn it Black Cat, your computer from 20 years ago is so much better than mine, I am sooo jealous!
It all is really amazing if you pause to think about it . I think you answer your own question. Every once in a while I pause and think about what has happened in the last 2 decades or so, and it is indeed
To be honest I expected ebook readers to be more common and cheap by now (this can't be the first consumer-level ebook reader, can it?). I haven't really looked in-depth into the tech so it's entirely possible that the $350 is entirely justified but I just can't see myself shelling out that kinda money for a device with such limited use. If you let me indulge myself for a moment, here is how I see the perfect ebook reader... For one, the dev
@rdbchick: I believe that Zoomba was being sarcastic, and I think, but it could be just me, that the story's subtitle makes the tone of the piece fairly clear
It's great to see companies like Symantec take the time to do a thorough and unbiased research into security issues plaguing so many of us. Not only do they provide cheap, fast and efficient products to protect our computers but they also make sure we know what programs have most vulnerabilities so that we are better educated and have safer experience with computers. Kudos to Symantec. /sarcasm off I had you there for a moment, di
Managed to download. Man, I tell you, making skins using PSD files is like an eye-opening experience - no saving PNGs, BMPs with pink (ugh!) or TGAs, no slicing images, no hastle! I don't know how I'll ever go back to skinning DX objects, it'd be like going back to Win 3.11 . I don't think it completely replaces scripting though as of course we are limited to what t

Holy skinnable player Batman! This is just awesome. 'Bout time somebody took advantage of all those layers for something really useful So does Stardock have any plans to do something like that for DesktopX or WindowBlinds sometime in the future - like maybe in time for the Vista release <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 AL
I think that even despite the steep price (and even with the 20% cut, which is only for the cheaper model, and only japan, it's still too much) Sony will make plenty of money on PS3. Having said that, if they don't significantly drop the prices across the board (i.e. all markets, all system configurations), they're going to loose a lot of market share, and that's going to cost them much more in the long term. I wouldn't be surprised if 360's market sha
These are really the most basic things that every even moderately non-casual PC user knows, so I'm not sure why it needs to be posted on a website largely targeted towards power users. Moreover, if you're going to post something like this, might as well make a more complete post and mention software like ccleaner, spybot and tweakui as part of regular computer maintenance.
