Ashraf pointed out some of the similarities between today's GOTD & a freeware app.
I'm not going to weigh in or assume anything -- as Ashraf noted we can't know if there's any relationship between the developers, if they're one & the same etc. I do want to note however that it seems there was some code rewriting or expansion -- both apps were compiled with VB 6, yet the XUS version is bigger. At the same time both apps have the same unusual comment [relive2012] if you check the details tab of the file properties dialog in XP, which would be very unusual if they were separate, unrelated apps.
