keep your friends close but your enemies closer

I don't want to start any trouble, but all this talk of 'Premium skins' is just rediculous. I think Windowblinds is old, buggy, and outdated, but thats just my opinion. Back in the old days of Win 9X, I hailed Stardock as a saviour that changed the horrendous way my computer looked, but with the advent of modern OS like Vista, it's a totally unecessary waste of my time. Windowblinds has always been a bugfest, but now, it doesnt even have a skin that matches the elegance and class of the native Windows GUI.  To make matters worse, a subscription at Wincustomize doesn't even seem to give you anything. Its like, ok, pay us 20 bucks and then anything worth trying will cost you another $5 a pop. For someone who is quite happy with the Vista GUI, I say let someone else pay that. The only Stardock product I have any use and praise for is Object Dock. The free version is really amazing and it does everything I need so I didnt pay the 20 bucks, but if there were any indications of future development I would be supportive of it.

There goes my faith in your judgement right out the window.


I read the title and got as far as....

I don't want to start any trouble,


... and immediately knew my faith in AnthonyR's judgement had gone completely out the window forever.

As my dear ol' grandaddy used to say, "as thick as two short planks"

You do realize this is a JU post that is automagically posted on WC too right?


Yes.... and I'm assuming in an OS customization thread owned by Stardock that the OP also knew.

I'd roll my eyes If I could actually open them for a second or two... yawn*

Is one little post really worth getting worked up about?  Here's something to cheer you all up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYURnwvQ5i0

Obviously there are plenty of people who aren't happy with it and do pay that. Otherwise they wouldn't be here and Stardock would be out of business or out of the windowblinds portion of the business anyhow.


As someone else said you, as well as everyone else, are entitled to your own opinion. But to me when you start a thread like this and throw in a line, like the one I quoted above, that obviously answers the question in the title of your thread, it automatically makes me think you're not smart enough for me to care about your opinion.

I don't see anyone getting worked up. Just people answering the question that was asked.

Good video though

I prefer Vienna 3 Rapture a thousand times more than Aero. Talking of elegance for the desktop. And there are a lot more skins more elegant than that default Vista style.

Choice.

What I really don't understand is....why would anyone take to time to come to WC just to talk down either the software or the skins. I don't understand why it's not much easier to just not use it, just not buy it and just not complain.


Boredom I guess? Makes no sense at all.

are you sure your using a legal copy of windowblinds, the cracked version is probably buggy and outdated
but i sure as hell know the the legal paid version is smooth, slick and terrific.

Anthony R just joined SD today, I think his entire purpose is just to bash Stardock. He has purchased no software.
