Upgrade! Upgrade! Upgrade!
Published on October 3, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

This week's poll is all about WindowBlinds 6.  It seems like a good idea considering it was released into the wild just yesterday to some pretty positive press.  What we're wondering is if you've made the upgrade from WindowBlinds 5, and if not, do you intend to?  Since WindowBlinds 6 represents such a major step forward for skinning with things like animated start menus and Vista visual effects for Windows XP, we're very interested in the general opinion on whether or not people think it's worth upgrading now or later (or never).

Expect the results next week.

I am thinking about ugrading, but before I`ll do that I have to know if the older WB`s will still work on it and are they still fully skinned???!!!
I have 2 PC`s one for XP and one for Vista can I use it with no problems on both???

Because I downloaded Adamant on Vista and it crashed, then I downloaded it on XP and it`s not fully skinned, but at least it didn`t crash!!!
(I use WB 5.5 on XP and 5.51 on Vista)

I am thankfull for any help I can get!!!!!
