(sorry for my bad english... it needs a lot of improval *g*)

If youre using your computer for a long time every day, and are a power user, youre running into problems every day.

Show stoppers which after (contacting support guys) lead into removing the product.

Done it with WB5, then bought WB6 after talking to the support, needed to uninstall WB6, gave the patches a try... nothing changed and no feedback...

Some support guys also tend to delete bug reports (seeking reasons for closing instead listening to customers), especially Curt Hendzell.... David Marquis seems to be one of their better guys.

There are many bugs... everywhere... even Impulse is error prone... David has passed a few to the devs, and some more important ones are beeing trivialized... Especially if youre updating a lot, you see Impulse to corrupt its downloads a lot.

This behavior killed my Impulse on update, killed WB, killed my Explorer as Fences got updated with the corrupt data... after that ive ended with a crashing, iconless Explorer.

The only answer i get... uninstall->reinstall... but none seems to be interrested into bug fixing. even if i offer to run debug tools and versions or help them.

This is no trolling... some of my fixes where included in WB and that was ok... for example the fact that WB accessed the disk on every mouseover and every small messagebox or menu that opened... or the fact that Impulse clipped its text...

I like Stardock... and the biggest part of this is cause of Brad Wardells success and his visions and ideas that inspires me.

If it's a somewhat recent integrated graphics chip, it really shouldn't matter. I have WB running on a Netbook with integrated graphics, not a big deal.

If you have a purchase copy of WindowBlinds, you can contact [email protected] with your system information and they will assist you. :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

      I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
