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 I think Windowblinds is old, buggy, and outdated, but thats just my opinion.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 is just no pleasing some people I guess.  Doubt anyone will lose any sleep over Anthony R and his comments.  I gotta say though...that Facepalm picture and caption is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while!  It is.....PRICELESS!

But the customer is always right.......

If someone complained about a product I made I would do my best to find  out why and see if there was a way to improve it so i could sell even more. I certainly wouldnt criticize them.

If I was the employer of  the person who criticized the initial poster I would reprimand or fire them.

I don't agree.  A customer is 1/2 of a transaction.  Both parties have to benefit.  there are some customers that will never be happy and the other 1/2 of the transaction (the seller) need to cut thier losses and say, "enough is enough and I am done doing business with you."

100% right.

As MD's we're taught same kind of crap. Well, the patient isn't always right.

People have many and mixed motives for visits to the MD.

The same with people like Anthony R who enjoys getting a rise out of the people here.

So, if I may ask everyone here: Why the hell are you obliging him?

Yeah!! I like that one he did where he was a cowboy.

Me too.... I also liked him in Westerns, tho I prefer when he played a cattleman out on the range.

 

I just wish he did more pirate movies.

Sure there are but bemeaning customers or potential customers in a public forum is bad business.

Anthony R isn't a customer or a potential customer.

He's a person with an opinion....and a pretty average one at that....

But...

Each to his own...
