FAQ:
Q) What's the catch?
A) No catch, other than those described in Terms and Conditions above. Giveaway of the Day are sponsoring Nexus Ultimate for 24 hours.
The goal of this promotion is also to 1) extend awareness of Winstep products outside the Windows Customization community and 2) hope people will like this software so much that they'll upgrade either to Winstep Xtreme or to the next version of Nexus Ultimate.
Q) Does the Nexus Ultimate version available from Giveaway of the Day contain any Spyware or Adware?
A) Absolutely NOT! You can download Nexus Ultimate from Giveaway of the Day in full confidence, but you MUST install and register the software within the 24 hours promotion period - after that the Setup application will not allow you to install the promotional version of Nexus Ultimate.
Q) Is there any functional difference between the version of Nexus Ultimate at Giveaway of the Day and the one I get when I purchase it from the Winstep web site?
A) No.
Q) How do I download Nexus Ultimate from Giveaway of the Day?
A) Go to their site here and click on the 'Download Nexus Ultimate Now' link. Please make sure to read the README file included with the installation program for instructions on how to register Nexus Ultimate after installation.

You mean from the free Nexus version or from the Nexus Ultimate version you download from Giveaway of the Day? If the latter, you'll have to follow the instructions on the README file to register Nexus Ultimate first. Once it's registered, an 'Upgrade to Xtreme' button will appear in the About tab of Nexus Ultimate Preferences.

I might actually be able to afford that upgrade now....lol!!

Remember, this is a one-time thing only. It will probably never happen again.
Oh, I find that hard to believe. Seems you have offered either free or with discounts before.
Ah-ah! See?! This is what the word 'free' does: it warps people's minds and makes them actually expect 'free' to be the norm rather than the exception. 
Blah. After this I'll probably increase the price of Winstep Xtreme to $399.90 just because you. So there, take that!

You will in an instant if I then promote it for 90% off.

Jorge...you've got to be one of the most good natured people I've run into. Ever.
Guys...you ever heard of looking a gift horse in the mouth? Free isn't good? I've NEVER gotten an unsolicited email from Winstep or because of my WinStep Sub.
I've only had one problem in all the years, and that wasn't WinStep's fault...and Jorge walked me through the solution, anyway. Customer care? Never had better anywhere, virtual or 'real'.
Seriously....this is a great deal! Snap it up!
That's the Doc's Rx.

I have been seriously considering purchasing this (Winstep) since last weekend! I had even downloaded the free Nexus version to test. Imagine my surprise when I found the Exreme version this morning for FREE! I was almost late for work because I wanted to download and install it right away so I wouldn't forget like I have with a few other deals. To top it all off, a seriously inexpensive upgrade offer! WIN WIN!

I went ahead and registered, a small price to pay for software this good. 
I may put it on my main rig yet, sure looks nice......and unlike some docks, everything works.
Oops,better strike that.

I got mine first thing this morning! I have that site bookmarked and check it every day. This is the first time I downloaded anything though. Finally, something I'll use!

Aahaha! Good idea, Jafo! <evil laugh>
If it goes up to $399.90 I'm blaming Philly.

If it goes up to $399.90 you'll need to include some kind of "bloatware" to keep it updated...lol...call it Pimpulse.
