Sad to see that some people don't know what ObjectBar is. ObjectBar doesn't compete with Style XP any more than it competes with WindowBlinds.

Even a year later, even with its declining popularity, Style XP advocates can't help but shrilly pimp it no matter how inappropriate. Given that the ObjectBar reviewer was running Windows 2000, even if Style xP were a related product, how exactly would it have done that reviewer any good?

dunno, wish CPU had the small write ups on CursorXP and Windowblinds for online reading for non-subscribers, they will next month. BUt then 4.0 will be out, maybe someone should email them and let them know to check it out

what caught my attention at the ZDnet link was the two comments on how simple Style XP is as if that means much. Lacking functionality it has no other choice but to be simple ..

Kind of like saying MS Paint blows Photoshop away because there isn't any learning curve

I'm trying to decide if that guy was ignorance personified or idiocy personified.

Go ahead and give me your special emoticon Jafo
