Have you received on of these?

from WinCustomize Forums
I received an email from "Screen Booty Support Team"? titled "Screen Booty needs your Boot screens please !".

They are asking permission to use my bootscreens from wincustomize. I am not familiar with their program, so am wondering if anyone else is. I wonder if they are using a hacked kernel or not? Are they a hacked version of BootSkins?

I am not going to reply to them until I find out more information.

A Google search found their homepage which can be seen here. http://www.screenbooty.com

I downloaded one of the bootscreens, and the format was .SBS, which was already registered to Spybot, probably a coincidence. The format is just a zip file renamed, and inside there was a bunch of other files which were unreadable, unless you had their program. So I don't know if it's a hack or a program similar to Stardock's. I don't feel like downloading the software to find out either...hehe.

Thanks Hus,

I would have to agree with you, I don't want to do it either, thus the post. I am hoping that someone else will know the full story about them. They do have material that wouldn't be approved on this site, so it has me wondering.

Got one...haven't looked into it yet....but best way is to request a 'free' access to the proggy....particularly if they want you to provide your skins, etc.

time-limited demo would do....so people have the chance to actually know whether it is a good proggy or not...
