The last poll we ran on WinCustomize asked if you use a Netbook PC.  The results of that poll were very close, but the majority did come back with a “no” vote.  I’d like to try that poll again in a few months and see if the results change much.

For this weeks poll we ask, “Do You Help Friends/Family Customize Their PC?”

Desktop skinning is still unknown to many people, so a lot of it is spread via word of mouth.  Have you helped anyone in your family, or your group of friends with skinning?  If so, how have you done it?  Recommended site or software?  Actually installed applications for them?

Let us know!

I got a couple of fellow medical transcriptionists whom I had met at an on-line forum into it.  Stardock really should spend more energy advertising to MT's; we spend more time in front of our computers than the average individual, and we're all real picky about our stuff (a/k/a anal retentive) is a successful MT trait (most of them are more anal retentive than I am).  Also, I modded out the World of Warcraft CursorFX images so they would work on my daughter's computer which uses Windows 2000 for the OS.  She's really into WoW.

I've puzzled a couple of MD's with my interface...showed them how it works.....my older son was interested for awhile then drifted off. He now manages a database team for Verint, and can't wait to get off the computer.

The MD's thought it was weird...until I showed them what right click and DX did together. Then they said "Wow!". Gave 'em the URL, don't know if they became customers...I've moved since then.

I had forgotten that my oldest son loved Windowblinds and DX when he lived here. He told all his friends at school how cool his Dad was, and showed them my site. Feels good to be appreciated by someone you love.

Well, I'm building a WindowBlind for my wife, aren't I?

My mom is almost as bad as I am; She runs WB and ObjectDock, but where she goes overboard is with her 1,000+ wallpapers.
