Is WindowBuilder Pro dead?

Postby Shlomi » Wed Sep 15, 2010 2:42 am

Hey,

ever since instantiations was bought by google (which is a wonderful thing!!), we have no clue what is the direction of WindowBuilder Pro. We were paid customers, and we wanted to continue using this product, but there was no link or any info about the destiny of it on the homepage or anywhere else (that i found).

So, should we start looking for alternatives (which doesnt really exists as far as i have looked already..), or just be patient knowing that within some time we could become customers again, get the newest version, and relax?

Thank you,
Shlomi

The product is certainly not dead in any way. It is fully supported and has been fully available to paid, registered customers during the transition to Google.

So...be patient and relax. All your questions will be answered soon.

There have been a number of public statements (in this forum and elsewhere) that the "product will be fully available and supported again soon" (to the rest of the world).
