WindowBlinds 7 internal alpha on Windows 7 beta
Unmodified WindowBlinds skin (i.e. skinners won't have to necessarily make any changes to support Windows 7).
WindowBlinds 7 betas will probably show up on Object Desktop this Spring.
Welcome to Windows 7.
That is how the start button looks in that skin.
I think that's HIS windows 7. I bet it won't work on mine...bummer.
The green is the wallpaper...lol. I think the WB is more of a tan, or sandy color. 
I know Jim, I like the skin in fact, minus the ferns, it's a little too early yet for me to take in that amount of color, later on, I'll love it.
The same way skinners won't have to necessarily make any changes to support either xp or vista? 
new window slogan "We are the almighty Microsoft. You will use our software. Resistance is futile!"
anyways.... 
I was going to post a really cool screen shot of my Win 7 waiting for WB to work, but...
Well, point is moot, huh?
Would be greate of the beta of WindowBlinds 7 were released to active ObjectDesktop Ultimate users. (Like my self.) Since I am using Windows 7 daily at work.

Uhhh... Ehhh... Eeep.... I think you have misunderstood the point of a beta OS entirely...
If you professionally develop Windows 7 software, you do NOT want to run third party software that might cause problems that is not related to the OS.
If you professionally beta test the OS, you most certainly do NOT want to install some extra beta test software, since it can cause non OS related problems.
If you're running W7 to get to know it, and learn the new features and such before release (because you're a tech support guy or something), you do NOT want to install some extra software that makes it look/behave different from a stock W7.
If you were a stardock employee regularly using W7, I'm sure you would have access to the ALPHA of WB for 7.
A beta OS has no place in a work environment other than for EXPERIMENTAL reasons. And an EXPERIMENTAL work environment definetely should not be running other non-essential experimental software. I don't see how windowblinds could be *essential* for a working environment, it's eyecandy, and as such it should only be applied when ALL software used is running smoothly in stable versions.
Not strictly true.
The two true functional features of WB is its rollup and z-order handling. I know I'm not the only one to use each or both of those daily....for their very real functional benefits.
Eye-candy is simply a bonus...;)
I stand corrected. 
Though, other than being convenient, I don't see how those feature would be absolutely essential anyway.
Virtually nothing is 'essential'...other than the OS itself....and the 'work' program...eg Office.....Photoshop....Autocad, etc.
But....there are features provided by such proggies as Windowblinds that, once used and familiar, if they are suddenly not there....simply FEEL essential. Z-order in particular....the ability to 'lock' one window on top of another...and work on the lower without 'focus' bringing it to the 'top' and thus obscuring the other.
It's the number one reason I use Windowblinds....;)
Seems to me like you need to create a video tutorial on how you use it. 
I think you wonder to much. Just give us the beta, and we will report back on any flaws.
