Upgrade to Windows 8 for $39.99 in Windows Discussion WinCustomize Forums

$40 for upgrades from XP and beyond. That's a great way to get people to adopt Windows 8. Even though I'm not impressed by W8, at $40 I'll be picking up a copy.....might not install it but at least I'll be able to when they hit SP1. I believe I paid $40 for Windows 3.1.....

Reply to Sysmetrix Help? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I used to have a list but I lost it somewhere along the way.....the easiest thing is to check one of the bmps from an existing skin. There might even be a skin that used text instead of images. I made my own a long time ago and it should be in most of my sysmetrix skins. Edit: found this but I can't remember if that's the correct number of states but I do know the Sysmetrix weather icons were provided by Stardock (way back when) <a href="https://forums.wincusto

The ORIGIN was with DARPA which is a US thing, but different protocols and standards used today definitely came from other places including England.

This is sad. RIP Boss019. Best wishes to his survivors. He was king of the XP version of Logonstudio.

They've been pumping out Betas every day or two since 4 was released and other than the one that had a handles leak each one gets better. Near the top of my list of good buys for 2012.

I believe decentralization would occur. Federal government would be useful in the beginning, but by week 4 they'd probably be running a police state.

Reply to Say goobye to Aero in Windows Discussion WinCustomize Forums

I'm planning to do a new build in September....can you say Thunder.... so I'm thinking about picking up a copy of Windows 7 that let you get the $15 upgrade so I'll have both when it's time. That way if it sucks wind I can roll back to 7.
