Hello

Just wondering if there was any ETA update for Windowblinds on Windows 7 compatibility beta yet.

Thanks

Windows 7 is still a beta product.

Yes it's beta but it is supposed to be the "final" version. 

The articles I've read on it agree that it is fully baked and any changes between now and the ship date will be minor. So shouldn't and couldn't Stardock be out front on this and have their product ready to roll out when 7 does?

Oh my, it's the same old thing once again.  Funny how history always repeates its self.

I recognize that Stardock can't instantly release a functional WB for an OS with as many new features as Windows 7, but I hope they won't wait until it's finalized either.  Maybe they could do a separate beta branch of the product just for Windows 7 users.  I, for one, have no plans to go back to Vista (or XP, gawd forbid...) so I am without WB and I miss it a lot.  I don't want to give up EITHER of my favorites...

Given the choice between Vista and XP, I'd pick XP any day of the week.

Win7 is showing promise though. I'll likely use that unless they somehow manage to completely mess it up between now and release. Vista marks the only MS OS I've completely skipped since 3.0 or so. Well, not counting Me, but I don't think even Microsoft counts that one.

Same here, Mascot68. MY PC came with Vista & I couldn't get rid of it fast enough!
