Object Desktop 2008 Preliminaries

Published on December 16, 2007 By Draginol In OS Customization

It's almost time to start talking about what's happening with Object Desktop in 2008. 2008 will be the single biggest change to the product since its release.

Here are some highlights:

Two versions

In 2008 there will be two editions of Object Desktop:

Object Desktop normal which will remain $49.95 and it will include:

Object Desktop LaunchPad
WindowBlinds
IconPackager
DeskScapes
DesktopX
SoundPackager
Theme Manager
MyColors with 3 premium themes included

And there will then be:

Object Desktop Ultimate Edition which will be $69.95 and add:

TweakVista
WindowFX
SkinStudio
IconDeveloper
StyleVista (new program in development)
LogonStudio Vista
ObjectBar
RightClick
Keyboard LaunchPad

ALL current users of Object Desktop at the time that 2008 edition is launched will be upgraded to Ultimate Edition.

Another big change is that the user experience of Object Desktop is going to dramatically improve. Gone will be the days of a new user simply getting a serial # and being expected to download Stardock Central to get started. Instead, a user will download a complete Object Desktop package which will allow them to easily upgrade to updates versions.

The inclusion of MyColors is a pretty big deal as well in that now users will be able to much more easily add new premium themes. What we'll be doing is that every so often we'll add an additional premium MyColors theme to every active Object Desktop account. So the longer someone is an Object Desktop user, the more stuff they get.

Stay tuned.

every once in a little while i manage to get back here so here i are. sometimes it not easy to gain access 'cause there am not too too many places for to getting online for any goodly length of time. anyway, i are here for puttin' mine three pennies into it he he. Aside from the fact that the complete package (mine cost me $50 bucks back in 06)is far cheaper than the individual apps, even at the increased rate it is still a bargain. Think of what all the separate apps would cost one by one. I'll take the package deal every time. But what i know i are just a wee person lol

I agree,I would rather pay $50 bucks,to get all the updates.It's cheaper than updating every program one at a time,and paying anywhere from $10 bucks to $20 bucks for each of them.I am just a wee person also,and I dont have a lot of money to spare, but love the programs,so cheaper is better in my book.

Under what business model is this kind of comment acceptable? This should have been removed immediately & the person dealt with! Especially considering all of the shooting incidents this country has endured this year.

unhappycamper88: With all we have endured over the past year, this is NOT funny (if it was intended to be). You shouldn't use this forum to threaten or give the impression of threatening
anyone. Speech is free until you shout "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater (Justice Brandeis, paraphrased). "Visitors" should respect their hosts.

As for the rest of your salient points, I believe others have answered more authoritatively than I could.

Not everyone is out to rook you. If you perceive that to be the case, however, you are free not to buy the software.
