VHD Attach enables right-click mounting and dismounting of VHD files in Windows 7 (Download Squad)

Nov 7th 2009 2:38PM Why does this look familiar? Oh yes, I posted (and made) a very similar utility on my site back in July.. I don't know why people have to copy concepts/ideas/features (right click automation of attaching and detaching vhds, file type handler, and the exact same Windows icon) instead of coming up with their own. If you do copy something, you give credit to the original author. In this case, you'd say where you got the idea. He might not have ripped the idea from my utility and in that case, I am sorry for posting this. However, since the utilities look very similar there is a much slimmer chance of that.

I'm not trying to complain, but you've got to admit that is rather annoying. I spent many days going into a unique utility with brainstorming, development, and debugging, only to have the concept ripped off by someone else. If you do make a utility that is similar to another, you make sure it has different features or functions versus a clone. Again, I apologize if I am wrong but I am sure you can understand my frustration.
