SCWJUNK read this page, and the comments below the announcement. http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/28/unsanity-urges-customers-to-make-sure-ape-is-current-before-upgr/ "APE works by intercepting system calls and working with what it thinks are statically assigned libraries and memory allocations. The very security feature of Leopard, randomly assigned memory allocations for libraries, and sandboxing was meant to keep (illicit) applications from doing this. And now APE doesn't work, because the security holes it was exploiting to function aren't there anymore. Of course, since it is a 'legitimately' installed application (it is already in the kext folder, along with proper permissions) not code being executed from a buffer overflow, it is hanging the system. (And btw, how did they not have a build of 10.5 running and working on their systems, they should have known this wouldn't have worked atleast by september's build, as I doubt apple turned on these security features last minute)" I've been using WindowShade forever, and I hate when stuff minimizes to the dock as much as the next nerd, but this makes me doubt if it will ever come to Leopard. Sure, Unsanity gets low marks from many people, and they may or may not be right, but it seems that the underlying technology that makes WS work has been eliminated in the new Cat. we'll see...
