Use Window Blinds XP to add themes

Windows Blinds XP has been integrated into the Windows XP operating system.  Microsoft and Stardock have entered into a partnership in which Microsoft will use their technology in the Windows XP operating system.   With Windows Blinds XP installed you have additional styles to choose from in display properties. 

And the best part is you can download over 1000 different styles and even make your own very easily with the SDK.

To get started go to Stardock and download the software: http://www.windowblinds.net/download.html

    The stardock link in the article tkes you to a page that provides a link to windowblinds version 3.5. However, it actually redirects you to download.com and to version 4.5, which is an independent and separate $20.00 shareware version of the program. What brought me to this article in the first place was searching for information as to why I can't get WinXP themes to work properly on my system.

    I followed the link and the downloads were for people who had bought Stardock proucts. If you have a parternship with Stardock, why are they charging "authentic" registered windows users $20.00 for a download that those of us already using the"authentic registered Version" of XP. I would certainly appreciate an explanation!

    One question, if Windows Blinds XP has been integrated into windows xp, why do we still have to download the software as an additional step? Wouldn't that already be bundled with new XP disks? Where did you get that piece of information?

    I downloaded and paid the whole suite, including window blinds. There was only the option to install the software from the server. I was not even able to download the software as such. So when I format my computer I have to go through the whole download bit again, which is mostly impossible for me, since I am mostly on dial-up. So, you can buy the milk, but you have to drink it in the store and can't take home. Stardock also limits how many themes and other details you can download. If you exceed your download MBs limit, you have to pay more. If I would have know all of that, I would not have downloaded, never mind paid for the software. To me, this is dishonest marketing.
