Doncha know me? It's WindowBlinds

The rodney dangerfield of software

"Hey Bill."

"It's Brad."

"Yea, whatever. Hey, how you doing?"

"Actually, my back has..."

"That's great, here let me introduce you to Susan, this is Bill."

"Brad."

"Whatever."

In the software world, we always make fun of ourselves by calling it "Starduck". "Yea, those StarDuck guys are making that need Window blind thing." 

Who would have ever thought that the Vista install would make it official...

Good old WindowBlind.  While the spelling being wrong is annoying, it's more annoying that this was on the WindowBlinds Vista build. The compatibility check on it is just looking at the most generic info.  This is on a release candidate so it can still be fixed. But I tell ya, OUCH.

That should answer the question that so many people at the forums asks: "why isn't WindowBlinds for Vista released yet".

So why was it spelled wrong? Doesn't it get the info from the wb exe file itself?

I'd like to know how many people looked right over it before someone spotted it...
