Registered your software?

from WinCustomize Forums
Just curious how many people downloading skins and such here have registered the program they're downloading skins for.

One of the things we've thought about to keep bandwidth use under control would be to look at someone who's downloading many megs of WindowBlinds skins and see if they've registered WindowBlinds or purchased Object Desktop and bring up a dialog nagging them or something.

Some people using the shareware version are of course just trying out skins but if they've downloaded 50 megs over the course of months, obviously they need to register it or stop using it (or at least stop using the bandwidth here).

Just curious as to what people here thought on that. Yea yea, the flames will start but Isuspect most of you register your software.

I thought I was walking through walls, but this could be some existentialistic imagery relating to something totally different....or it may not...

Flummox - are you sure you aren't wearing underwear? Because it sounds like they're 'in a bunch.' Just *kidding* but I really think 3rd Eye was just trying to have fun.. as in humor. Either that, or he's a S.M.A.R.T. agent

As far as spying goes, I have some thoughts. For those of you who can't read them, I'll illuminate them forthwith ~

Remember when you installed Windowblinds? Remember when it asked you about that whole net thing, where every so often, if you're connected to the net, you have the OPTION of letting Stardock know what skin you have loaded? You know that part on their site where you can go and see what the most popular skins in use are? Connectivity - is it magic or is it Inter-Net.

If you are interested in what sites can know about you if they want to, go to

Feature it was so that Site of Dock of Star could show Skins which were Really Most Popular (as in Actually Most Used).
