How Safe Is ModernMix?

Could It Break Something?

March 7, 2013 1:49:36 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I am about to try this.

I am just a bit concerned that it might break something.

 

How safe is it?

Perfectly, if you don't like it just uninstall it. You can go back to regular mode at any time by clicking a small icon in the top right of your tile app.

Yes the app is safe.  Worst case you could always boot into safe mode and uninstall it as it doesn't replace any files or anything like that.

It should be remembered it is a beta though.

Thanks for the reply, guys.

I've installed it now and having a look.

So far, it looks impressive.

Doesn't ModernMix break the sandboxing and security of the WinRT API by exposing it to the Win32 runtime?
