(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. :)

    • 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.
