to get what seems to be the same programs that were in 2007! by the time new versions will come... the ultimate will drop to 50usd.
Hmm... Sold!
I paid for the last ObjectDesktop after being told I would be able to get the upgrade for free. It included things like TweakVista and SkinStudio.
Now they are charging extra for what was already included??
EDIT:
"Anyone with an active subscription to ObjectDesktop.net on March 31, 2008 will automatically get upgraded to Object Desktop Ultimate free of charge. Object Desktop Ultimate will be $69.95 for new users and will include: ..."
So according to that, I do get the full version of everything still. Good.

Idk. Upgrade your hardware? I've got it running on two boxes with no "serious performance" issue. If you're going to criticize something, at least go into detail why. Comments like what you made will make casual users think less about trying out the application and supporting a deserving company such as Stardock.
And no, I don't work for them; I've been using their products since version 3 days when they were a lot worse, performance-wise.
(LOL, first time someone calls me a troll.)
No, I don't think you have tried it recently
cheers
if a replacement comes along for vista , i will be interested
I think the point of the get Linux posts is that Linux presents a streamlined interface relatively free of bloat that is freely configurable and fast. I was going to say it looks pretty good but I'm not sure I think that. I do know if Stardock released windowblinds for Linux or Leopard I would buy it. What's Kol up to these days?
Stardock products have always caused system instability and performance problems namely WindowsBlinds
Other Stardock products such as ObjectDock and IconX were simply just annoying to get rid of and liked to mess things up when they go- I guess if you dedicate yourself to the software you wouldn't see any backlash but I don't like to dedicate to anything.
like I said personal experience please try it out for yourself before believing a word, it may run perfect for you.
