More Impulse screenshots

Impulse doesn't care where you got the programs, you can keep them side by side.

Minimizing Impulse to the Impulse dock I can quickly access all my stuff.

Impulse's community features are extremely advanced. Friends lists (which work back and forth with games), blogs, tracking, user ranking, etc.

My Friends list. Also coming soon: Facebook integration.

Live chat features about your favorite games, apps, or whatever else.

Impulse is a digital distribution platform. But its store also supports sending users a boxed version too (for participating publishers).

I've been using Impulse since it was given to us to test. I'm on an XP Home 32 bit system with a P4 2.6 processor and 2GB of memory. Works fine and I see no descreas in performance or high resource usage.

In reading peoples comments about Impulse most if not all deal with how Impulse works and the need for more or less functions. You know, the normal comments that are made when a new program is being released.

Bottom line, it is worth looking at, you can then decide if you want to use it.

I already don't like that Steam doesn't want to comply with my OS's native look and feel (which is a theme called Visty for XP -- the y instead of a is intentional). Impulse also looks to do the same.

Optional.

Also, the dock thing also concerns me. I don't want my system looking/functioning like OSX.

Optional.

I only wish it didn't use the IE engine in the browser.

I agree, WebKit or Gecko (which are quite small) would be very smart to integrate in to Impulse.

I agree, WebKit or Gecko (which are quite small) would be very smart to integrate in to Impulse.

But the target audience is likely to have a working version of IE with nothing extra involved. It's a hard line to follow.
