[quote who="naroon1" reply="11" id="3893510"] I spend too long each day at my PC, and that was 100% why i got into WBs and Themes, so i would not have to look at the MS Gui.

Reply to I'm confused: what are you offering exactly in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

During the period of a Subscription any installers remain available as they are updated. However, you MUST download any installers you wish to continue to use in future as the end of the subscription means the end of access to them.

Reply to I'm confused: what are you offering exactly in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Applications' licences are never 'annual', but by definition a 'Subscription Service' is annual. When you have downloaded an application along with its serial they are yours to use forever. If however you Update your operating system there can be no guarantee the application will still work as it may no longer be compatible.

Reply to I'm confused: what are you offering exactly in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Applications can be bought and downloaded individually, no different to any other form of online purchase. Updates are only available for the term of the version release. As and when a new full version update is released you will need to purchase again (often at a lower update price). If you intend to use several applications over generations of Windows version releases then Object Desktop's subscription system is far more economical.

Reply to I'm confused: what are you offering exactly in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Object Desktop is a Subscription service which has an annual renewal fee. For as long as you keep subscribing every included application can be downloaded... used..and updated. If or when you cease subscribing any applications you have downloaded can still be installed and used, but after you cease subscribing you no longer have access to updates. What you obtain during you subscription period remains yours to use forever.

BDBF ... For your own benefit I have edited your post. There was simply too much information that should always remain private and not be published. In reference to the Dali Lama I 'met' him once...in a lift lobby of a Hotel in Melbourne Australia. I walked past him while he was waiting for a lift...within inches...and had to do a double-take and turn around to check if it was really him. When I did he turned and smiled at me....and it sure was
