F11 on browsers works and on maxed explorer windows too but it sux in comparison.

Life without WindowBlinds!!!  How is that possible???  One day without WB and I'd be positively certifiable... requiring strong meds and a strait jacket to restore peace and tranquility...

... not to mention the pacifier as I sobbed myself off to sleep.

Like Mirsguy said, you wouldn't be sorry.  With WB you can make your desktop your own, to suit your mood/taste at any given time.... not to mention that it's well worth the money.

Go on.... you know deep down you really want to.

Default Aero is at least tolerable... to some extent.  When my main (Win 7/Vista) rig was out of commission recently, I had to revert back to my old XP box for a week or so, and let me tell you, it's not easy typing with the end of your nose cos yer missus recognised the mounting insanity and put yer strait jacket back on.

Nudging the mouse around was a little easier, but it didn't half make the tip of my snoze sore.

am having nightmares already even tho i am not asleep - i couldnt cope without my windowblinds7 - its the best thing since, er, windowblinds6  lol
