- What is
ViStart?
ViStart is a remake (NOT PORT!) of Microsoft's Vista Start Menu. unlike other products which use the name "Vista Start Menu" and in reality arn't anything like Vista's start menu from Microsoft.
ViStart actually is a TRUE REMAKE of Vista's start menu in terms of functionality and appearence.
- How do you say
'ViStart' ?
Can you believe people e-mailed me to ask this question? Well this has caused a lot of confusion. Some argue it should be said "Vee Start" (like the way Vista is pronoucned). Though i (The programmer) personally pronounce it "Vai-Start". But if we are to follow the laws of the English language. It should be pronounced:
Vee-Start (like the same way Lee is pronounced). So V"ee"-Start is how you should say it.
- Whom do i contact for support ?
Before you contact anyone for support. You should google your error message and search this FAQ. More then likely its a problem with your system or an unusual setting that ViStart had not expected. Also ensure you are using the latest public version of ViStart from www.lee-soft.com.
It may take a few days before you get a responce but you can contact me from leechantrey[at]blueyonder.co.uk.
- Where can i get ViStart ?
The latest version of ViStart will always be available at www.lee-soft.com before it is available anywhere else. Since i am always updating ViStart you should check back frequently for updates. Though before updating ViStart you should check the Changelog.txt.
- What does BETA actually mean ?
Its a phase in software development before a product is finished it goes through a testing phase. This phase can be refered to as BETA Testing. BETA should not be thought of as the final version of a product but as a demonstration of what the final product should be like when it is complete.
Orignally ViStart was finished after BETA 5. I didn't plan to continue development of any major features after that. This decision was made because i had assumed everyone would "migrate" to Vista including myself. The main reason i develop ViStart is to make my life easier using XP. But i could get better performance from Windows XP with my games and applications and well mostly everything i run on my machine. So i won't be switching to Vista anytime soon. Therefore i will continue development of ViStart and major features as i see fit. (Thats why BETA 6 exists)
