It is immensely frustrating to me that after the man hours that have gone into making WindowBlinds 5 available, that it's not instantly available to everyone possible (specifically, people who are getting a _FREE_ update to 5.x) is causing all these posts.
The builds were released in a staggered order based on how they finished getting packaged and tested. Which actually meant the shareware version for people who hadn't paid a cent was available first if you knew where to look. Then ODNT customers because it could be released without having to test placing new orders.
The final download links for the enhanced versions (standalone) were put up less than 10 hours ago, once the ordering and upgrade path tests for those were completed.
And then, when we thought everything was settled, we started sending out the emails to people entitled to free upgrades to 5.x based on orders.
Do not purchase an upgrade. Do not assume some dark conspiracy to trick users into upgrading for $15 before they get the emails. Frankly, I'm more than a little insulted.
Next time, we'll try to make it a point to add the product records earlier for the free upgrades so at least you can get the download links from the support page or have Stardock Central automatically recognize it.
We didn't this time, I recognize that, we could have done better.
If you don't have an email by Wednesday morning (EST), then drop a note to kwilas@stardock.com and I'll personally check into it.
Until then, your free ice cream is coming. We can only dish it out so fast.
