I already have this and can guarantee it is all it is cracked up to be, it is simply awesome to use on a day to day basis, and your whole computer is accessible from the desktop, its great, it really is, its a Whoooooooeeeeeeeeee Whoop Hot Diggity Dawg kinda app Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha thanks for the post on this ID, you always bring us the latest in our fields technology, thanks a lot my good friend

Jorge really has devoted tremendous time and effort to Winstep...and it shows! The Beta of Nexus and it's new user interface is also well worthy of mention...don't know what my desktop would be without Winstep and SD. But: It wouldn't be nearly as great!

Thanks for the News, I.D. Winstep really deserves it!

Crap!

I need to renew.  What an awesome application!

I am testing Winstep at this moment and it looks really sweet!

I just may have to buy the thing!

As much as I love Stardock apps, Winstep Xtreme is the best suite of apps on the planet, for its versatilty, customisation and sheer convenience.... and because it blends with/ compliments Stardock apps perfectly, it is a MUST HAVE desktop app that far outperforms any similar app I've tried.   There simply is no comparison... because the union of Winsatep Xtreme and Stardock apps isn't just a getting together, it's like a marriage made in Heaven.

The recent updates are great and Jorge has done a magnificent job at delivering a quality, functional suite of apps that works flawlessly.   And the fact that it works well in the  Win 7 RC (both 32 and 64 bit), as well as other Win OSes, is a testament to the thought, hard work and dedication that Jorge and his team put into this amazing piece of software.

Go to the top of the class, Jorge, and thank you to you and your team.

Thanks for the heads up ID

Ask a guy named Steve about it.

I should have known better than to trust you!

You forgot Jorge, Giz! Sheesh.

Different story altogether.  Windowblinds integrates into the shell and is therefore a more difficult proposition to code for an OS that's just entered the RC stage of development and still subject to minor change.

Winstep Xtreme, on the other hand, while a shell enhancement program, does not intergrate in the same way and therefore is more a layer to the shell than a replacement.  For example, when you apply NextStart, it does not replace the taskbar or start menu - those remain underneath - and the basic shell essentially isn't altered.  As for Nexus and Workshelf, well they are similar to ObjectDock in application, and you will notice that OD is working in Win 7.

NextStart and Windowblinds are like chalk and cheese, with WB being the more complex to code because it integrates and is a GUI replacement.  Messing with the shell and not getting it right would have disasterous consequences and would result in crashes, BSOD's and other operational anomolies, so an unstable alpha/beta is NOT what we want.... and surely not what Stardock wants, either.... given the amount of whingers who kick up a stink when they didn't have the patience to wait
