The answer to that very old question.... "How would you like to be remembered?" "He died at a very old age." ...;)

[quote who="c242" reply="28" id="3853603"] Quoting Jafo, reply 12 Then along came Windows 10 and everyone is required to put up with betas...even with the OS itself. I have used Windows previews since Windows 95. [e digicons];)[/e] [/quote] Carl...yes, so have I...but there

[quote who="pelaird" reply="28" id="3853054"] I would like to thank Stardock Software for working tirelessly on providing their users with an alternative to the Start Menu and Taskbar on Windows 10 and 11. I have used a lot of different software over the last 30+ years and never have I seen a company that listens to and works so closely with its users in customer support! I haven't seen anything like this thread on any of the Stardock forums since I became a member in 2018. It

[quote who="MrStarTrek" reply="49" id="3852337"] Some users just don't care or give a damn. [/quote] In the online skinning world that very much was the case, mostly years ago now. It was a constant battle to keep on top of it all when many said "if it's online it's free to use" and "what ya gonna do...arrest us over some crappy graphics on the Net?". Times have changed....the Skinning world has grown up a bit...it's about 25 years old now, as are gaming mods

[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="37" id="3852148"] This was my thought that the TOS ruled regardless of the copyright laws. [/quote] Specific 'rules of engagement' can be made by individual communities /games/etc whereby the act of 'joining' can involve agreeing to specific TOS that affects all involved within that 'group'. Issue arises when you are all happy with what you do....and then someone publishes something originally done by you to a location outside your 'loca

[quote who="MrStarTrek" reply="23" id="3852099"] If a user wants to modify another users original design it should be mandatory with the workshop privilege to contact the original ships designer and get their "EXPLICIT" consent before uploading their design to workshop and credit to the original designer MUST be given and shown in the description. NO EXCEPTIONS. [/quote] That's the important bit. Skinning [OS] has always abided by that, as has the Flight Sim world .

This isn't my end of the Stardock universe....so I'm next to useless, but I think I could put my vote behind MrStarTrek as it's not just about being eager...it's fundamentally about knowing your 'end of the Stardock universe', preferably both long and well...;) One of the things people have to get their heads around as a Moderator is how not to go public with 'things' ...;)

[quote who="Mavrik347" reply="10" id="3851637"] Yeah I agree with this, paying 80% full price for a peek feature? No thanks, that's actually pretty insulting both to customers and your own product. Are you saying all other features were only worth 20%? [/quote] Considering the ground-swell of requests for an ability to see desktop icons above open windows, something Fences was NEVER intended to do, and just how fundamentally it is at odds with Microsoft's requirements for 'p

Good to see that the creator of an OS still cannot get it right. Makes me all warm and fuzzy....;p

BTW....I get the one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater...;)

I see it...so I suggest you logout and back in...;)

[quote who="naroon1" reply="40" id="3848798"] MS will give up on 7 unless there is a serious issue, that is the way of things. How will 0Patch fair against compatibility with vendors not updating Drivers etc.. almost all OSs stop being supported after a while, does 0patch fix that sort of thing too, really curious. [/quote] Once an OS stops being messed with by MS directly there's no changes to it requiring compensation with new drivers. Once a system is working it can

Looks like I'm isolating for a week. Better part of half a million people at the Grand Prix last week...[they claimed it was a world record - seems they forgot about Adelaide in 1995 ....when it WAS a World Record].... Bloody good odds I'd get Covid .... ...and I did...;)

[quote who="xode0000" reply="5" id="3846852"] Also, how do I get rid of this?: h [/quote] New users have a time limited barrier to uploading multiple links or images as a barrier to spamming. It will pass. In the meantime please follow AzDude's directions...;)

[quote quoting="post"] It's been almost 10 years since I first purchased Start8 and I still can't get used to any other menu style. MS messed with a good thing. [/quote] That they did, which is why I'm still on Windows 7 itself...;)

Bitdefender can be a bit slow keeping up to date. It's why I switched to Kaspersky back when Win 7 came out. Programs that work 'with' Windows' Explorer shell can often be confused by AV proggies as "suspicious activity" and be blocked. Work around for you [until Bitdefender catches up] would be a temp disable of the AV until Start 11 is installed...;)

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3" id="3844434"] Quoting Jafo, reply 2 Since about 80% of the world's Uranium comes from here... So that's the source the lethal critters and accent, eh? [e digicons]*_*[/e] [/quote] Yep...even the dirt here can kill you...;)

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="40" id="3844254"] I am confused at these two differing statement's because they seem to conflict with the scope of the debate we were having. [/quote] Phoenix...you're debating with a troll ....never ends well [for the latter]...;)

It might be something that can't be done. Dopus {I exclusively use it too] is more extensive/powerful than fileman.exe [I think the MS one is] so likely will be a tad recalcitrant. I've never found a need for using multiple instances of it so haven't seen issues myself...;)

Can't say I'm enough of a twit to tweet....;)

Oh darn, that's sad news, Brad. We'll be thinking of you.
