Yes, but one could argue that a community could be a pool of customers. If MacDonald customers decided to have a big party and meet every so often in a huge stadium rented by MacDonald itself, even if there would mainly be MacDonald food sold at those parties, along with non-competing products such as beer and condoms... Could those gatherings be called a community? Hum... Some people would, some others wouldn't...

hegramet, I tink it is ess-vid who once said that there is no such thing as a skinning community. There are instead a big bunch of communities. There's the Deviantart community, the Lotsofskins community, the Winamp.com community, there used to be the customize.org, the skinz.org and the Deskmod communities. Although I wasn't sharing his opinion back when he said it, I am indeed starting to see the wisdom of it. This is the Stardock/Wincustomize community. A community, not THE community.

Frogboy, user TomCruise was created as a joke a few months ago in a thread which I don't even remember what the topic was. But I know somebody else registered NicoleKidman then for the same motive of fooling around in that thread. Now, that person apparently remembered that he/she had registered that nick and just decided to use it to raise a point without being taxed as a traitor by the rest of this Stardock community. Cause it is a fact, anything that is midly a critic of either this site

Brad, just for fun, click on craeonics's name. As far as I know, none of that info is true. The same goes for a lot of people. Some don't wish to be known as their public selves, and it's their choice. As for the community discussion, I've made my point known in the other thread: this site, for me, is more like an extended Windowblinds.net than a shrank down skinz.org. But that's just me, and me alone, I don't try to convice anyone, but I am free to perceive what i perceive.

hegramet, you're probably new around here, or you missed out one thread or two... We've had this discussion before... Just to put you up to date: while this is indeed a Stardock web site mainly featuring its own products, some people will say that it doesn't make it less a community web site, while other people argue that a true community site should not favour one product over another. With some huge amount of people visiting, it is argued by some that this fact alone should make it a commu

There is no Palm OS emulator available for your pocket thingy? Someone ought to write one, then indeed, the choice would hardly be difficult, since you could run any Palm OS application on your pocket thingy.

I can see why the OS guy would quit after Palm purchased one of the best OS on the market... Ya know, I'd take it personal too. Anyway. I'd love to have BeOS on my Palm device.

Reply to what is "litestep" is it the same as windowblinds? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

No, not at all. Litestep is a Shell replacement. It basically takes over your whole Desktop/Startmenu/tasbar area and allows you to completly customize it to your tastes. Only problem is that it's very complicated and takes a while to learn how it works. For more info check out this http://docs.litestep.com .

But, other than that, Fa65 has a point. It's unfair competition to add MSN messenger already preinstalled, unless at the install you give the choice if people wish to install MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, or whichever. Microsoft just spent 3 years in court for integrating IE in Windows, and now they just ignore that and do the same thing all over again.

Personnaly, if it wasn't for all the software availabel for Windows, I would definetly choose another platform, most likely Linux, QNX, or BeOS. Now, why would I be foolish enough to choose another MS for my palm device, when software support is actually inferior? Rubish... And I am quite surprised there are not more people here that are speaking up for the Palm OS based devices, since on the market they are a lot more popular. Probably has to do the art-oriented population here is

Plainsong: there are cordless modems for Palm and Visors too. Check this one out... Of course it's pricey. https://store.palm.com/Catalog/productdetails.asp?productnr=3180&parent=1010&type=1
