I bought ObjectDesktop about 3 weeks ago and I don't have access to the beta. I even have the "show pre-release" checked :(

If you have WindowBlinds 5 installed, then uninstall it and WB6 should show up in Stardock Central. Let me know if you run into any problems. :)

This is another WB6 preview video. Shows many of the same features as the last video, but this is running on XP for those who haven't (or don't intend to) upgrade to Vista. :)

i purchased WB5 in may/2007 and have recently installed Stardock Central

but i don't see WB6 available?! (yes i have "Show pre-release versions" checked on)

must i have have the full Object Desktop to obtain WB6 beta and final?

You need the OD subscription to access the beta, but if you purchased WindowBlinds in May of this year, then the upgrade will be free. :)

If I buy Windowblinds 5.51 today, will i get a free upgrade to WB 6 when its released or do i have to pay for the upgrade?

Anyone who purchased WindowBlinds after February 1st, 2007 will receive the upgrade for free. :)

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
