Got my curiosity Brad - I read PC Mag for a few years in my early computing days, thinking it was the definitive word at the time (chuckle), so I wanted to see what sort of look they had cooked up for the modern era. (I've still got the older PC Magazine WB by pixstudio).
You do have to register with the big ZD (Ziff Davis) in order for access to "members-only" downloads. If you go through with it, there's a couple of things to be aware of - I went ahead and did it anyway, and unzipped what turns out to be 'setup.exe'.
I think "OK, the Alien Suites were really cool and they came With As a Theme Manager Install", so I click 'setup.exe'.
Just so folks know - it will install a PC Magazine OEM Theme Manager over your licensed FULL version. I did manage to "Upgrade" back to my Full version painlessly/quickly with SD Central, & it didn't wipe out my Themes.
All said it's not a bad looking WB, clean red/wht. Not sure whether it was worth the couple of minutes of angst - I'm a Maximum PC and CPU Reader these days
