This is going to take a handful of hours more, unfortunately, since the site needs to be moved to another server and we have to wait for DNS propagation etc (the server it has been on for the past year was actually supposed to be temporary, Johanne was working on a WordPress version of the site which meant going from a Windows based server to a Linux based server, but then that got on limbo).
The Winstep forums are on a different (Linux) server, which is why, unlike the main site, they're still running.

Since you are here, and alive 
, I'm sure most folks would be very interested in hearing about not only Win 8/8.1 compatibility but if Winstep will remain backward compatible with Win 7, Vista and XP.

But of course, I'm from the same school of thought as Microsoft's Raymond Chen (backwards compatibility is a must). For instance, Winstep software was, AFAIK, the last software of its kind to abandon Win9x compatibility (basically I stopped testing it on Win9x machines only when nobody else but me was using it anymore, eh eh). It's still compatible with Windows 2000! 
Not only is Jorge still 'here' ....he's still sane too....
lol

Jorge, I am so glad to hear that you ARE indeed still on the planet. As for your hiatus.. I still think an announcement would have been the courteous thing to do for us.
I'll be looking forward to renewal when you are 100% back in the thick of it then!!

Hey, Jorge Glad to see you are doing better! Any chance we will see the skinning app in 2014?

Been there for years. That's why I'm here. No Jorge, no moderator, nothing for over a year.
