Great example of trolls. A guy actually made a post complaining that WindowBlinds "sucks" because it doesn't skin a particular menu and those web views even though he must be aware that XP doesn't skin 99% of existing applications other than the title bar. Amazing.

I really enjoyed the SS comparison. It's amusing that WB does the XP look better than XP!

Whoa, I guess I'm late to the party...
That scoobie kid made me laugh:
- His command of the English language is amazing. I always struggle to take people seriously when they insist on using "u," "4," and "y," and try to pass them off as legitimate abreviations.
- His reaction to the side-by-side comparison was hilarious. It's like a murderer being shown a smoking guns with his prints on it and still claiming to be innocent.
Bottom line is: This isn't exactly the type of person you can count on to pay for software... Don't sweat it when they crawl out of the woodwork to say WB sucks. They aren't willing to pay for it to begin with. As shown by the few reasonable people on that thread, those who actually have an objective opinion of it, will not be swayed by some teenager trying to damage its reputation

True. Given WB's sales, we do know that msstyles is HELPING WindowBlinds by bringing users into the market.

It's not even the fact that he's not the sort of person to pay for it (not that I have anything against that sort of thing), but would you really want to sell something to a guy like this? Just imagine the support requests

I think we should call people like that "Prince copy cats". Didn't he have a song that was called "I would die 4 U" back in the eighties? Oh, wait, now he is the artist formally known as Prince... this just gets too messy....

Actually, he changed his name back last year, so now he's "the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince".
