Well, I've made a decision...
Thursday, April 12, 2012 by LightStar | Discussion: WindowBlinds
After much consideration I have decided that with the exception of my Crux WB (which will be released at the next GUIC), my Visions WB which is currently in progress will be my last release for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. After that I will be releasing only WB's designed for Windows 7.
I have made this decision because it is extremely hard for me at this time in my life to keep up with updates on all three OS's and keep my software updated, etc. I am sorry to have to do this and I hope all you XP and Vista users understand.
Now on to finish Visions!

I agree with all of the above.
It´s the right decision to make Tom.

Thanks everyone. Now..... if only Stardock would make a new (bug free) version of SKS designed specifically to skin Windows 7 (and ready for Windows 8) when it comes out!

awsome decision!! i havent looked back since neone6 told me to scrap xp and vista....

Well, I understand Tom,
I, of course..with much resistance to my inner lazybones.. will keep on skinning for everyone, for now.. 
I just feel, if one is selling one's wares, it's only right to cater to as many people as possible.
Vista will be the first to go, once I feel the proportions of users reach diminishing return status.
Now get to work!

Good for you Tom. I do vista and 7 and my next skin will be for them however after that it will also only be for 7 as I lost my vista. Actually gave my computer away to one of the grandchildren as it had vista.
I think the two new skins that come with windowblinds are for 7 only. The Metro ones. Again didn't look at them but I think they are only 7 ready.

Which is the easier for newbs like me to skin for? I gots all three, although the XP machine is good for only what it does - hosts webcams.

Well I do. Thanks for doing them as long as you did.
A lot of the Win7 blinds look ok on XP (though perhaps not quite as intended
), so it's not "the end"
