I just came across this article and thought it fascinating.
I've been saying this all along but some stubborn people just refuse to accept the facts of logic.

As MS alternative software and OS's gain in popularity, they WILL become targets. There is nothing more secure about them.
They simply have not been targets thus far

Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox and Safari. Though that might make...

So far on my system I have had the following Vista Versions

Vista Ultimate x86
Vista Business x64

I'm getting ready to try out:

Vista Ultimate x64 wSP1

I have 4GB RAM, hence the need to use x64.

At work I run Vista Business x64 (also a 4GB RAM Machine) and absolutely cannot get DesktopX to even say hello.

So, as of right now..

What Stardock apps DO NOT work with Vista Ultimate x64?

If they don't work, when will they?

Is there a way to modify the default category list shown in Windowblinds. I know you can set a skin's category but the category of my choosing isn't a choice.

I want to create a category called Premium or Masters, but alas I knoweth not how to do it.

 

I hate icon and tiles view in my windows folders. I find it cumbersome and hard to navigate.
I prefer my view to be in detail mode.
In "Computer", I set it to detail view, go to tools, folder options and the view tab. The "Apply to Folders" button is greyed out and thus, My Computer always reverts back to tile view.
Has this ability been taken away in Vista?
btw... UAC is OFF!

Having a bit of a problem getting a DesktopX Processor Performance meter to function with Vista. I never had a problem with XP. Any tuts or ideas?

Can someone PLEASE explain why this happens. There are many blinds, great ones, that I will not
use because of this.
It happens on multiple systems too.

With any luck, the title of the post brought forth'e a few snickers and thus led you here to "Parcipitate" in this discussion. So, here we go..

No beating around the bush part:
Gef just uploaded a new Master DX Theme and is beginning to take heat because of it.
Accusations are running amok concerning Master submissions now.

The 2 sides of the argument (this here is the debate part) are:
A) " Since so and so reached a Master status, they don't put out anything for free anymore "

B) "...

Has anyone else noticed that the Orb phenomenon that used to be the primary focus of Wallpapers has begun to migrate to Windowblinds Start Buttons?
I'm a big fan of Geometric figures. I feel that the Square, Rectangle, Parallelegram, Trapezoid and Hexagon figures will soon revolt and begin discriminitory legal action against the ever powerful Orb unless changes are made.
  

I have a beasty system at work, which I have installed Vista Ultimate on.
I have 2, 256MB Video cards.. hence 4 monitors.  
If I try to run DreamScenes here's the message I get...

Windows DreamScene can't run as your desktop is now configured.
Windows DreamScene cannot run because the total desktop size exceeds the primary video adapters's maximum texture size.


Help?

Ok, so Vista is out.
Can people PLEASE stop capitalizing on the name when doing themes, walls, etc.
It's like nails on a chalkboard seeing people use the word Vista in something when it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Vista at all. It's called Popularity Whoring. It's distasteful, vile, putrid, disgusting and could be considered a felony in several states!!   
How about a new category called "This crap has nothing to do with Vista" and put all of this PWWare in there!!!   

Somewhere, th...

I spotted this on Digg, and this is just too cool for words...
A flash type game were the user creates a paper plane and then throws it to see how far they can get.

Go Here Now!

Well, this afternoon I decided to give vista a try outside of my virtual environment and actually peform a fresh install on my PC.
First step.. I ran the upgrade advisor and obtained proper drivers which would be needed. ( Sound Card )
Last night, I purchased Trend Micro AV 2007 as my new anti-virus solution as well.

So I pop the CD in and begin the process.
Everything was going fine until I went to choose my time zone. As soon as I clicked on it.. BAM! A rock solid lock up which required ...

Are you ready for DST changes?

In August of 2005 the United States Congress passed the Energy
Policy Act, which changes the dates of both the start and end of daylight saving
time (DST). When this law goes into effect in 2007, DST will start three weeks
earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later
(2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November) than what had traditionally
occurred. Refer to this Microsoft Web site for the latest information on
Daylight...

The latest version of Windowblinds, WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.1 (build 82 x86)).
Where has the setting gone to tell the system NOT to replace your wallpaper with the one supplied with the skin?
It's just not acceptable having my wallpaper hijacked and I don't want to use the wallpaper changer supplied, which by the way, does not have the setting I am referring to.

Does anyone at all understand how to create themes and skins for Object Bar2?
Is Skinstudio, in it's present form anything other that a paperweight for this function?

I've read the tutorial yet the dent in my desk from banging my head is getting larger and deeper after 2 days of unfeathered weeping, sobbing, and gnashing of teeth trying to understand it all.
