Inappropriate?Hey! Let me try!
I just signed up for your mailing list. -
Inappropriate?Awesome! We'll make a post to the list when we're ready to get the beta in a few more folks hands.
Thanks for your support yo!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I've been waiting on this software to come out of private beta for some time now. Itching to get my hands on this thing. But still have some questions: Will this work on a normal PC or does it have to be a tablet? -
Inappropriate?Hi Pitbull,
BumpTop definitely works well with a standard PC with a mouse, though you can use it a touch-sensitive device as well if you have.
Signup for our beta if you haven't already! http://bumptop.com/list

Inappropriate?I signed up for the beta early, but I haven't recieved any email for the beta... could you send me an email or reply here as to why that is? i'm just really excited about it, and I thought I would be one of the initial beta testers....
You can get a hold of me at thedragoninsideme@hotmail.com. -
Inappropriate?The beta list is quite selective at this point but we will be opening it up shortly. Thanks for your patience and early support!

Inappropriate?I've personally been aching to try Bumptop since about July last year, and give it a good thrashing. I'm interested to also try it on an x64 system and see if that goes smoothly. I signed up to the newsletter as soon as I heard about it, and was therefore thoroughly gutted when I wasn't included in the first wave of beta testing. I am, and always have been, an avid beta tester, and as Microsoft will probably know from when I tested Office 12 in December 2006, I provide copious amounts of constructive feedback (Somebody must have had to wade through all those emails, but then again thats what they're paid for). I appreciate that you wish to keep testing selective at the current time, but I would be finally gratified once and for all if you would strongly consider allowing me to participate in the current wave of beta testing (which would also save me the daily disappointment after checking my email account and the website)
I’m on my knees begging :)

Inappropriate?Hey JM,
Thanks for your excitement and sorry to keep you waiting! We are expanding our beta every day and the mailing list peeps are top priority. We've got some issues we've got to solve to make sure its high quality beta, but hope to have it to you soon.
Thanks for your patience!

I’m waiting...

Inappropriate?So what is this? Shell replacement for windows or linux? -
Inappropriate?Its probably best described as a "Shell enhancement", since it doesn't necessarily replace the existing shell.
Our first release will be for Windows, with a Mac support to follow.2 Comments

You need to make the beta signup have a platform option, so that people who use mac and want to use the mac beta will not be invited to the 'windows' beta by accident. Or, so there will be separate lists and you won't be lopsided when the mac version comes out, due to inviting more windows users (via indiscriminate chronological order). -
We're working on a separate provision for Mac invites on the website. Stay tuned.
-
Inappropriate?So this is running ontop of explorer.exe? Would it function as a replacement for explorer.exe like Litestep? Have you tried it with wine in a Linux enviroment? I would like to try this as a shell replacement for Windows XP SP2. Looks more promising then the now defunct Looking Glass project.
-
Inappropriate?Explorer.exe still runs, but we become your desktop, and integrated as a view for existing explorer.exe windows.
Haven't yet tried it with Wine on Linux, but have had some sucess with CrossOver on Mac.
We work with Windows XP and Vista at the moment. -
Inappropriate?You know you can replace explorer.exe as the shell= value in the win.ini and still load explorer as a file manager when needed with no need to run it in the backgroud. Unless of course there is some need to load it at boot.
-
Inappropriate?We don't want to kill explorer.exe entirely. It still provides a bunch of useful services, ie, the start menu, etc.
Thanks for the tip though. -
Inappropriate?I've subscribed to your list, and I would really try this out sometimes. Hope you send me an e-mail soon!!!
I’m waiting for your email!

Inappropriate?Hi.
It's been quite some time now, and still haven't heard any news either on the BumpTop page or here. I thought maybe I did something wrong when I signed up to the list. But after seeing the previous reply, seems it's still in private beta. Is that still the case? How's it coming along? Could you give us some updates, please? I'm sure I'm not the only one dying to hear whets going on in the fantastic 3D world that is BumpTop.
I’m confident the project is going well.

We've been really bad about keeping people updated and plan to change that real soon. We've started a twitter (http://twitter.com/bumptop) and will be updating the website with more current info.
Things with the beta are going great, we're iterating the software based on all the user feedback we're receiving and growing the our beta accordingly. -
Aww... now that's just plain cruel. I am already foaming at the mouth hoping to get a beta version to test and you send me to a twitter page with a new video of an even better looking BumpTop with a photo feature? That's just not right :( Now I am even more psyched up. Guess I'll have to start digging for an alternative to tide me over until the beta comes out. Sigh...
-
Sorry to tease bro. We'll try and hit ya up soon.
-
Inappropriate?Hey it's me again.. Any idea when you're going to give people the beta?
I’m sooooo excited!!!

Some people already have the beta. We've got overwhelming demand and opening it up so we can keep up with demand. The earlier you signed up the earlier you'll get it! Thanks for your interest!
-
Inappropriate?Cool! Did I sign up early or did I signup late? (jongscripter [at] live [dot] nl)
I'd really like to test it..
If you have the beta. is it allowed to post a video of it on YouTube?
I’m happyly waiting for your response and a beta invitation!

Inappropriate?2 weeks?!? Aww... well I guess I'll just wait for the beta mail then.. But what do you mean with "directly"?
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hi Anand,
I signed up for this a long time ago, and when the mailing list wouldn't let me you sent me a link to a special signup page or something, but if I remember correctly and according to my last post, that was over 3 months ago, and I still haven't gotten anything, even though I eventually managed to get the list to work a day after I signed up for the special. Should I have received it by now?1 Comment Add a comment

If you haven't received the invite you're probably still in line. Thanks for your patience.
-
Inappropriate?That Stanford video is really impressive. I love the seamless integration with the Windows file manager. http://tinyurl.com/65clg4
I don't shill for a product in my personal life very often (IRL, yo), but I've been showing this to quite a few people and they're totally losing it, especially Dell dudes who are about ready to switch to mac because of how dissatisfied they are with the windows interface.
Still have yet to actually use Bumptop though!
Is there version that will run natively in Leopard?
Again, this is awesome and I can't wait to see it.
-John
I’m patiently awaiting

Thanks so much John. Mac is in development but will be released behind our windows version unfortunately.
-
Oh no, don't do that! You're saying "hold onto your windows machine, because some day Duke Nukem Forever will be released and you'll wanna play it on Windows!" - There's no guarantee this will ever be mature. Don't prevent a conversion for "waiting" for something that will make windows 'bearable'
