Black Friday

Hello,

Usually, there is no official announcement on it. Just need to wait for it and see if it included in the Sales items

Thank you.
Basj,

I'll buy if there's a good Black Friday deal. I already have Fences and DeskScapes. I'm interested in Object Desktop but the price is too steep for my liking considering how I already have a couple of the included products as lifetime licenses and how OD is an annual sub. I also still need to look into how Object Desktop might conflict with another software suite I have called Actual Window Manager. (And that one is standalone lifetime, seems Stardock could learn a thing or two from them.)

I've set up some alerts so I'll know if you tweet about a BF sale.

Same for me, seems not too much difference between start11 and start11v2..

Not much difference? I guess that depends on what you want and need, but things are not always what they seem. Pelaird, a very active customer and valued member of the community, made a quick list of some of the changes a while back:
