Immense Style XP arrogance!
Saturday, January 12, 2002 by John Hamp | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
OK I confess I tried out Style XP awhile back. But today I got a shocker! An expiration dialog that they never mentioned poppped up. But if that wasn't shocking enough, the arrogance in their dialog: "Please support the skinning community by registering Style XP!" So paying TGTSoft, a company with no skin library of its own, no forums on its site, which just makes a patch is supporting the community? What arrogance!

The facts are (and facts, Shoggot, actually matter in real life) that no Stardock product has ever tried to sell itself by appealing to user's charity. WindowBlinds, which costs the same as Style XP, sells itself based on what it actually does. And it doesn't time out. Rather, a user knows specifically what is in the enhanced version and hence knows precisely what they are paying for and why.
Despite the fact that Stardock pays for this site, which Shoggot of all people should know is expensive, we don't try to get people to buy WindowBlinds in order to support this site. Similarly, it doesn't try to argue that you should buy it to help the economy.
