Aston Shell

I came across this shell replacement and wonder what others think of it. Looking at the FAQ and some of the problems mentioned makes me think that it creates a lot of changes in the computer's setup and could be a bigger problem if uninstalled.

Having said that, I downloaded it and noticed that it seems to speed up the bytes sent and received through my dial-up connection considerably. It does seem more powerful than the Explorer shell, but I don't understand how it could operate independently of Explorer. I know browsers such as Avant still use the Explorer base; maybe someone with tech knowledge can explain this.

Aston is good looking and has quite a few setup features that I have yet to figure out.

Yea that looks good but too bad it isnt free.... (I checked all thw way back to 2000 and it wasnt free then either)

I like how you can switch back and fourth between this and your default windows explorer theme w/o rebooting,thats nice!!


EDIT:

I guess it is free in a way
