  "Fantastic!"

  by Unhyper on October 10, 2009

  Pros: The amount of stuff you can configure is amazing. Lots of skins out there for the product. Great support community (the author is friendly and responds to questions and requests). Stable, has not crashed on me. Extremely light on resources.

  Cons: There are so many things you can configure that for a new user it can be confusing. The options arent self-explanatory; I didn't know what "Respect Reserved Screen Space" meant until I enabled it and poked around to see what was different.

  Summary: I like this product because it has enabled me to do exactly what I wanted. I recently gave Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) a spin and I loved the hell out of the Gnome desktop, but unfortunately Wine didn't play nice with all the Windows apps I need to use, and s... read more

  "great upgrade to d standard windows taskbar"

  by luciferwarlock on October 5, 2009

  Pros: i can see all of my many programs in windows that opens separately.
  nice alpha channel lets you see through the task bar.
  great corner bump feature brings forth the hidden task bar.
  the start menu has a lot more features than d standard windows menu.

  Cons: could be my lack of understanding but open web pages dont go all the way down the screen,even with the task bar hidden.
  it s a resource hog on my pc.

  Summary: i like.i like.all programs on my std. pc does not show all of my programs,even with a high screen resolution.its great for someone who has a lot.great visuals make my desktop the envy of friends.a wonderful app to enhance your day to day windows xp u... read more

  "Nothing comes close to Winstep Xtreme, not even Windows"

  by SiliconDreams on July 27, 2009

  Pros: 1) It's chock full of the kinds of tools Windows should have had 14 years ago
  2) It's completely and totally configurable, but ony if you want to.
  3) It looks the same way on EVERY version of windows. Unlike windows.
  4) The support is world class

  Cons: There are just so many configuration options, it can be intimidating to the novice user.
  
  BUT : you don't have to dig into menu endcaps or aero windows thumbnails or transparency unless you really, really, want to!

  Summary: There aren't many tools out there that help you interact with your computer the way you like to. And there are precious few that make it so much fun. Winstep Xtreme is both. If you're really lucky, you'll find a totally configurable menu organiser, ... read more
