Good Morning Everyone,
I installed WindowBlinds 7.90 beta this morning and so far it is working perfectly. The new interface works well although I miss being able to change transparency.
I even tried the beta on some legacy blinds and it worked just fine.
I uninstalled the earlier version of WB before installing this one to avoid any conflicts but tt was kind of a shock to see my system running naked! No WB?? I can't imagine it and don't want to. 
I know I will probably upgrade to Windows 8 when 8.1 is released but it will be hard as Windows 7 has been rock solid from day one. I will most definitely be using Start 8 though as I find the new Windows inteface to be harder to navigate than it should be. Sure seemed like a lot of work to do a simple restart and the people I serve are lost for the most part so I recommend Start 8 to everyone.
The Stardock team did a great job on WB 7.9. So far it's working flawlessly (Windows 7, 64 bit). Thanks for the great work! It is greatly appreciated.
I did just notice one strange thing though. The emoticons on this forum appear in a single line down the page.
To add the "grin" I had to scroll waaay down the page. LOL
