Description

we're recruiting for people who like to dual boot or use multiple machines. we'd love to find out how SharpE compares to other shells out there for windows. there are a few shells which are free and some which are not, and we want to know, how are we different from them? what are they doing that we're not? etc etc.

in addition, we want to know how far SharpE goes toward making windows as pretty as something like mac, or linux. how are the widgets, what kinds of awesome icons do they have? how can we make SharpE better configurable? we want to know it all!

if you're interested please reply to this ticket. we'd like to see how we stack up against the other guys, in terms of utility, eye candy, and ease for a noob. just let us know what you're using, what you are willing to use, and we will get back to you!

thanks,

spj

The first thing i should mention is my laptop has a p233mhz cpu and 128mb of RAM. I tested Ge0Shell, BlackBox?4Win and SharpE on it.

SharpE

Wouldn't run. Not much else I can say.

GeoShell?

Did run. Didn't like it as it was overly minimalistic and the bars were a bit tard to modify. They were like our throbbers only not as clean nor as functionable.

BB4WIN

Also ran fine, BBICONS was a great plugin for it also. Didn't like the taskbar though.

I can help a lot here. I dual boot linux and xp and I have tried every shell for windows under the sun. I have some suggestions already as well.
