[quote who="Skeether" reply="269" id="2805993"]You cannot just take something you see because you don't have money for it either, this is clearly stealing in this case. But with a movie or game or music this becomes difficult because the cost of redistribution is essentially nothing.[/quote] Oh this is SO WRONG. Everything that ever is, was or will be produced, physical or otherwise, comes from the effort of *somebody*. The source of all products, physical or not

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with the v10.9 release of the Winstep Nexus dock and Winstep Xtreme.

That's were you are wrong, they will pirate anything that costs money (even only $1) if they can get away with it. The only way you can stop them is by making the process of finding a pirated copy that actually works more has

Download of the free version at Download.com is blocked by Eset's Smart Security (and probably NOD32 too) as 'probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan'. False positive, no doubt, so you might want to let Eset know about it so they can fix it on their next virus definitions update. A good resource to see if other AV suites are flagging a false positive is http://www.virustotal.com Been bitten by my fair share of false positive

Jafo, indeed, w hatever reasons anybody comes up with, they are really just racionalizations/excuses to something everyone knows deep down to be 'wrong'. But Mercestes attitude is a healthy one: he realizes and admits that software pirates are, in reallity, shooting themselves in the foot, as, for piracy to exist, there must be something to pirate, and for that, software developers need to be able to make a living on what they do.

Winstep Xtreme v10.9 will be officially released next week. Nexus v10.9 was ready (and the Cnet Download.com exclusive was already scheduled for Friday) but Winstep Xtreme still needed some work on features that are specific to it. Usually all versions are released at the same time, but unfortunately this was not possible now because of the Cnet exclusive. So you can just wait a little while longer and get the official update next week (the Winstep Update Manage

Winstep version numbers are based on Year.Month, and this release was supposed to have come out in August (10.8), which was when that preview video was made. Unfortunately some last minute features (plus having to wait for the Cnet Download.com exclusive that is currently going on) delayed the release by a month.

[quote who="JMBdev" reply="20" id="2785471"]Hi guys. Sorry but the Start Menu glitch is another one that is just not going to be fixed This is a glitch in Windows itself that makes that right area of the panel not draw when its location is anywhere but where it expects to be. (Well technically this isn't a glitch in windows, just an odd inflexibility!) Will keep looking for hacks to work around in, but otherwise, sorry [/quote] I can confirm the same thing under Windows 7 with Winstep
