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 I think Windowblinds is old, buggy, and outdated, but thats just my opinion.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.

Wow talking about poking a bear in the eye with a stick.


Well that's silly. You're suppose to poke a bear in the ass with a stick and really piss him off!

I love SD's products and WC's community and creations. Thank God they are here for those of us who want to change our GUI's but either don't have the time, patients or talent to do so. IMHO I think SD should stop putting out freeware versions of their products so that freeware leeches have nothing to feed on.

How something that can change your OS in a way that nothing else can, be classed as old and outdated, is beyond me. You know of a newer program that offers everything windowblinds does, that's 110% issue free and freeware? NO? then it's hardly old and outdated is it?

Shame there is still people that expect everything their way and handed free too them on a plate.
