i dont like it its hard to add shortcuts and it dont work to well on a duel monitors. Plus it seems like when in My Computer it is slow and laggy. Old windows is good enough for me.

I tried it before, but I found I didn't like it. When I tried adding a new theme, I became a bit "dumb". All those files made it confusing.

I think its a really cool shell, was using it on my laptop for a bit. But shortcuts are indeed hard to create, also I dont like losing my desktop support.

I don't see the point. You won't be able to use it in 30 days, unless you cough up some bucks. But hey, if you're willing to pay, go for it.

I have it on all my computers. Only problem I have ever had with it is that my overclocking program for my radeon 9800XT will totally lockup my PC if I try to tweak settings in the Aston shell. I just have it boot up in shell swapper mode so I can tweak, then logon to my shell.

I like it because I love the wicked looking themes. It forces me to keep my desktop a clean space as well so I like it. One thing I do is have a element shortcut to the explorer desktop that I can open when I ever need something off the "desktop" lol

I use it for like 8 months now. I downloaded the "Ocean" theme and I'm just too lazy to get a new one and modify it.

the desktop thing is no real loss, the side bars make up for it and more, cause they are always accessible without minimizing and they are organized so you don't have to be cheap when it comes to shortcuts.

the slowdown might be if you're using a certain theme that's heavy or if you're not on XP that's heavy anyway.

windowskey+E doesnt open up windows explorer anymore :(

oh and that it deleted my keyboard sound volume hotkeys. (mute and vol+/vol-)
