I'm not arguing the price, heck it is a great price I admit that. A great bargain from the original price, I'll readily agree to that any day. If it was a seperate distinctive product from what is described in the ODNT. That is what I have been trying to say all, along. If I want the product I'll buy it. If I don't I won't. I never believed I would get it, and that actually was never my goal. This was the very same argument I had previously a ye

Then Call it what it is CorporateDesktop, or DevelopersDesktop, or DevDeskX, but comingling the name is an obvious obfuscation. Or Call a spade a Spade and Change the Name in the ODNT to reflect DesktopX's standings as a non self standing exportable version. Make the distintion obvious to the purchaser. Because all you showed prior to 2004 was two distinct Versions. And for the record I have never disagreed with the content of ODNT, and I have always k

I did close qoute. It acted funky and I edited it and fixed it, and it acted funky and kept showing the /quote... the whole thing ( you know what I mean.) Anyhow I am over this whole thing. I could care less. I am now going to sit back and watch the life get bled out of DX, ODNT and everything else, as the community get fractionalized by the widget vs Gadget, crap. I will say this for you Brad, you are a Marketing Wizard. I do not think an

All I am asking is for Brad to fix and clarify in writing the issue at hand and delineate they differences between the two, different products and state the difference on the ODNT Web Site, and remove the White paper or fix it to reflect the current state of affairs. Is that so, wrong. Unless the written word is fixed, there is too close a similarity, and Stardock intent is not clearly defined. I am sure I am not the only one that feels like this. I am

Just in case anyone was wondering where I get the nerve... I've been here for a long..long time. DX Since v0.10 or there abouts I think. The very beginnings. I am nothing more than a hack, though. I pretend to be nothing more than a hack. I am an opinionated, over confident red-neck with an attitude. Overly oppinionated and under educated, and three teeth in my head. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm

I totally understand that there is a difference, and accept that fact. But I am not convinced that there isn't enough of a difference to warrant excluding 'all iterations of DesktopX' from the ODNT Subscription, and forking the development and justifying it. At least Jafo see's something of what I am talking about. If I go to the airport and am flying coach, and get an upgraded seat then I am flying first class. When I have a subscription to Micros

I just realized what a circle jerk this is... I'm done. Say what ya like.. Think what ya like. I really do not care. It's all sychophants, toadies and apple polishers to me, from this point. I'll readily stand to WC's defense with the best of them, but when it comes to being told I'm wrong, when the facts are in black and white... Well, that's another story. God love all of ya, and on another topic we can find a better debate, but I am not goin

Someone here is deleting my post and I don't care what you say now... It doesn't matter. I can understand If I am cursing you or saying something untrue. I know this was last years discussion, and it is this years discussion, because you refuse to fix the errors. Fix or remove the white paper, clean up your trail of errors, and make the record straight, on the ODNT Pages. It's that simple or do you want it to continue. Something similar to this ve

whining.. painting.. half fact... Why because I see a difference. I do not care what any of you say. I am not splitting hairs here. I am stating published fact. Ok, we can make this simple.

Those two products happen to have similar name but are indded a very different products. Just like ObjectDock and ObjectDock Pro. No you are drawing the difference yourself. where on the StarDock site, prior to the PRO $499 version was there ever a distinction? I do not have to fear looking foolish. If

I understand what you are saying, and can see your points. I do not refute your thinking. it just so happens that Stardock while developing Desktop X realised that Desktop X was moving along into something quite powerful that could be used to develop seperate applications. So they thought, why not try to sell it to devel

paxx, I am not ranting... honestly. I am trying to be straight forward and clear headed, and logical about this. I know the price has dropped. If Brad wants to fix all the Documentation to reflect the differences, fine by me. I just want to make sure that, it gets done. I didn't buy into ODNT with the understanding that I had to decide if I was going to be a developer, or that I had to draw any distinctions about my Subscription. I 'Subscribed.

Not so.. because the version we are getting is being moved into a distincive class, where as before it was all inclusive. This, in and of itself belies the fact that we are being sold something different. The very simple fact that we have to infer a distiction between what we purchased and what was said we purchased, is the wrong track to be on. The ODNT description is not clear as to the distinction differences, and promotes the belief that the Subscr

Isnt wincustomize for everyone. Wincustomize isn't for everyone. It is for Skinners, GUI Customizers and Family members, and apparently not too awfull many evilly themed people.

The problem is that the Dark and Sinister is passe, unless you are Goth, PseudoGoth, Death Baby, or some other fashion that I am unfamiliar with. Evil as an artistic medium is over used, and infantile. Dark Backgrounds, while conducive to that whole hackerish hidden and dangerous mentality and overall badboy atmosphere, is a dated concept. I put it right up there with the Matrix'y Green and Black, psuedo code. This also is right up there w
