It works. You may like it. If you are in the USA.

Pros
Looks way better than anything supplied with windows.
Cons
If you live outside the USA (or from all I know, on the wrong coast), the weather widget will just look plain stupid on your computer. For some reason the widget uses its OWN local time, and NOT the time/timezone you are in. So if you, like me, reside in Europe, for all general purposes it will look like the weather widget is forecasting the weather for YESTERDAY. And honestly, I really do NOT need a widget for that.
Summary
If you live in the right place, this program is for you. If you live anywhere else, stay clear.
Outstanding, excellent possibilities.

Pros
useful and appealing; animation very welcome, what you need is available at your finger tips, wonderful.
Cons
couple of bugs still intact, hopefully updates will fix this as this product is too good to allow bugs to remain.
Summary
waiting for new version to eliminate the bugs and if so i will upgrade my rating of this product from current 4 stars to 5. Aston2 Panels v1.3.1 is to good to allow bugs to remain, hopefully Aston folks will fix this
Really great, its a keeper

Pros
Beautiful,fast, refreshing
Cons
maybe if they were more skins
Summary
Really great since I run Windows XP I just couldn't believe that I can have transparent taskbar and start menu, plus animations are something really refreshing. Aston2 Panels is definitely a keeper.
cool, BUT major bug!

Pros
it's ok looking
Cons
can't uninstall it without LOSING my original taskbar(not just autohide)....I tried their website FAQ's answers, but it doesn't work. Maybe i'm crazy, but I like having a taskbar...what happens when the trial period ends? NO TASKBAR? BEWARE!!!!!
Summary
not bad but needs slight improvements

Pros
it seems a lot better then other products like this
Cons
still as a couple of annoying bugs. cant access main drive though icon properities.
Summary
although it was a lot better than other similar products and didnt crash once it was still restrictive in use. overall i would recommend this product but anything that as a bug stopping me from normal windows operations i find irratating.I Couldnt custermise side bars on some skins and they showd information i considerd a security risk.
Awesome!! and very promising...

Pros
This is good stuff. It just spices up your Taskbar, Start Menu and More. I would definitely pay to get this one!
Cons
Couple of bugs here and there, I am sure with new versions they are going to make it up.
Summary
I was bored with my desktop so I downloaded, DesktopX and Yahoo Widget, they both sucked. Instead of being part of things, they hogged desktop space... ITS MY COMPUTER, IT SHOULD BE AS I WANT!! But this Aston2 is really good. Download it now!!!
