I don't know what some people feel defensive because I say that WC is a Stardock site. What's wrong with that? Why feel defensive about that? And when I asy that it's not a community site, how is that bad? Why try to fight and insist that it is? MacDonald is not a community food outlet, but it doesn't make MacDonald evil... does it? And again, the fact that there is what, 4 billion served or something, does that make MacDonald more a community food outlet? I don't think so. Wincusto doe

No, seriously. In my mind, and in most people's mind, the word "community" excludes profit and cannot be biased to any specific product. Pretty much the same as the real world's definition of "community". People who work for the community usually don't work at MacDonald's or in the local theater, even if those are indeed places where people in the community go to...

OK, I want to sincere ansnwer to this next question please. Not a selling speech: Has any of you people who used XP ever come upon an application that would not work properly under XP? I say that cause even MS say that there might be some applications that won't work. Is the need for a dual boot completly away?

Obtain and install the Disappear utility (4 kb) ( ftp://ftp.creativelement.com/pub/win95ann/disappr.zip ). You'll need VB40032.DLL (381 kb) ( ftp://ftp.creativelement.com/pub/win95ann/vb4rt.zip ) if you don't already have it.

Reply to How many of you are planning to upgrade to Windows XP when it is finally released? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Tandis: how is it much better? I switched from PCAnywhere to VNC for a few reasons: it does the same thing, it's fast, it's free under the GNU licence, and it's crossplatform. The only thin it doesn't do at the moment is file transfer, but I got an FTP server t take care of that. Querstion: can you connect to non-XP machines with he remote desktop feature?

Tandis: they were here before LOS existed. So why did they feel the need to go somewhere else? If it would have been anybody else, I don't say... But those tweo where fanatics in my mind. I remember thinking "Come on guys, Stardock isn't the end of the World and Brad isn't God!" Why are they admins at LOS now? Anyway, myself, as I said in another thread: I was pissed off at first, but now I accepted what the site is. For it is NOT a community site, it is a Stardock-community site, a

Tarkus, you know what I find interesting? Over at Skinz.org, I remember CRUMBUT and Doreen being the BIGGEST fans of Object Desktop. The would never miss a chance to tell some rookie to go buy the whole Object Desktop subscription, that it was worth every penny... And now this... We hardly see CRUMBUt or Doreen around this part of the neighbourhood anymore. What happened? How did this site succeeded in driving away two of Stardock's biggest fans? Just food for thoughts...

Reply to Admins, when are we gonna see a Hoverdesk section?? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Come on people! I've done my share of bitching, but in the end I did come up with the reality: this is NOT skinz.org nor Deviantart nor Deskmod. This site is a Stardock owned web site and we all know that. Doesn't meen I don't enjoy this site naymore. I still come and enjoy myself around here, except I don't kid myself anymore. This site is basically a glorified windowblinds.net including all the other Stardock apps and a handfull of non-Stardock-conflicting applications. Colorpad will n

Reply to Forget XP, I want BlackComb in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, a while back, whistler was supposed to be "Windows 2002" and Blackcomb "Windows 2003". But maybe the schedule got pushed off, but maybe not. The Blackcomb development is well under way already. And .NET is the Microsoft new strategy to "rent" their software, not sale them. In the future, you will decide what you you make of your computer and lease software from Microsft according to what you need: specific features of Windows, with some specific featrus of Word, Excel, etc. You'll mot

emilyh: "I plan to upgrade, if for no other reason then to keep my computer skills current." Well, actually, from what I've read, Microsoft wants you to forget all your computer skills with XP. Most of everything will be Wizard driven. Tarkus: OK, I went through your list... - System Restore: I hope it's better than ME's because the one on ME is totally useless. - User Swapping: yes, cool indeed. But I can't think of any reason why I'd use it... - Built-in CD bu
