Happy 4th, all! Make it count!

Aren't the Mac G5's already doing the liquid cooled thing?
Looks like LongHorn will be a Windows-authored version of MacOSX, down to the Expose features, drop shadows and file management. I WAS looking forward to LongHorn until this.
Toothsome, you're only considering the GUI and effects of it, not the underlying structure. Supposed to have much greater system stability and driver support inately. I see your point, though: On a brand-new Toshiba Laptop, I can't keep XP running stably for over 8 hours (right out of the box). Buying a mac.
Even funnier, you never see Mac users using it, unlike Aqua on Windows...
Funny thing is, Unsanity's got a Luna skin for Mac's ShapeShifter...
It seems completely possible (and I'm secretly hopin' its true... Panther converted me). Seems like StarDock and Apple had a rather tenuous relationship, however, in regards to ObjectDock.
Well that does it... I'm buying a Mac!
Perhaps he just can't get to the internet with his LS install. Have had that one before.
Satan's Child - Had a Nondisjunction for WB almost completed for the GUI olympics (except for the transfer animations, large glyphs, and the system buttons) and then had a catastrophic hard-drive failure. Everything lost. 2gigs of scientific data from my lab, 5 Aston-Shell themes, a sysmetrix skin, and Nondisjunction WB. Moral(s) of the story? 1) Toshiba's QC is lax (the laptop was less than 4 months old). 2) BACKUP YOUR DATA FREQUENTLY!!! Let me reiterate: BACKUP YOUR DAT
Bad experiences with LS I take it? Older installer, or more recent?
F0rezt, Thanks, you answered my question. I was curious why so many Linuxer's would be hanging out at a Windows Customization site. Seemed really fishy until you clarified. In regards to relevance: There have been plenty of Linux-oriented posts at WinCustomize over the years, and although it does not really apply to Win-customizing, it has established its place in the news items. I don't see any reason to complain. BTW: I can't help but agree with the author of the articl
Long-click, I'll have to try that! (Nice feature). I have to admit, linux does have the advantage of efficiency in the copy/paste department. Much faster than hitting Ctrl+c or Ctrl+V (replaced by one click).
elempoimen- EXCUSE ME!!! I have used it recently, and I completely beg to differ with your assessment. Not that I've ever had to integrate 3D into my documents (that was a lame selling point, bro.), but just importing graphics became a headache. The formatting options are archaic (have seen better in DOS-based word processors). The learning curve for OpenOffice and the difficulties in integr
Would be nice. OpenOffice is about as functional as MS Works. Interesting link at the bottom of the article on how running MS OS's is actually cheaper than Linux in the long run.
Froggie, Is a team required to have skin submissions for all categories, or is it permissible to have just a WindowBlinds submission? To the skins have to be submitted directly to a particular event (Most OS-like, for example), or are they submitted to a single pool out of which the judges pick which is the best for each event? Lastly, anyone interested in teaming?
Jark must be pleased!
Martin and Star, I think most users trying Linux run into the same conundrum that drove me away from it after two months running it exclusively: loss of productivity. I've not met a casual linux user. They tend to be the types that love to tweak every single aspect of their environment, and Linux is absolutely the perfect thing for that. Unfortunately, it tends to require that you tweak every single aspect of your environment. Even with a nice RedHat install, I still found so many
Once again, Thank you Stardock! My kids will certainly enjoy this. Compliments to the programmers who put this together, and special thanks for the price!
You'd think with all those resources, they'd come up with a name better than "Sparkle." The next Windows past Longhorn will be codenamed "Bubbles"
Probably added a checkbox for whether a theme is OTS1 or OTS2, which really needs to be (the two standards function very differently, and are not cross-compatible, much to everyone's chagrin).
THE most full-featured zoomer. The resizability of this justifies its use alone!
Typical MicroSoft maneuver.
Pending approval, two pics will show up in the Graphics section titled CryogenXP and SequencerXP. Sequencer is obviously more complete than its little brother. As mentioned in the descriptions of both (I think), I am totally willing to create further graphics for either as needed, I just hate coding the skin, even SkinStudio. There's just too much work involved to be fun anymore.
Great idea, pic (...opening photoshop)
