My Bad... For some reason I thought it already was. Thanks for being so kind and not treating me too much like a n00b. You could have just said it has not been released yet and I would have been fine with that answer but... Anyways, thanks.

Humor is hard to translate in text.  Bichur and Gary did not mean any disrespect, I know them and trust them.

5.5 is expected to be released next week I think but the beta is out now if you are an ODNT subscriber and use SDC.

I didn't mean to come off harsh. I apologize if it came out that way.

If you have SDC, you can set it to show pre releases (betas) = the beta out now for WB will become 5.5 when released, I believe.


and I'm pretty sure when it's officially out, it will be a main article on the front page.

If you paid for WindowBlinds 5, then you should be able to open Stardock Central (in Vista), register Windowblinds 5 through S.C. then make sure it checks for beta builds, it should prompt you to update WB5.1 to WB5.5 (beta) after restarting S.C.

Yep. I Already purchased WB 5.1 months ago while still using XP, SP2. Now I've installed Vista Home Premium. Downloaded SDC, entered the pertinent info, allowed "check for beta builds" and I'm using WB 5.5 Beta. Operating quite smoothly, I might add.
