I accept that referring to Stardock as a company as unprofessional was harsh and unfair on my part and I apologise unreservedly for doing so.

In November we announced that we would have DeskScapes 2.0 publicly available in February. We have failed to have a stand alone public version available for a variety of reasons, primarily, the difficulty in dealing with so many different hardware configurations on Vista. We have DeskScapes 2.0 beta on Object Desktop. ODNT users are more used to dealing with beta software and are giving us feedback which we're working through.

Second attempt..... Brad may well be showing off Object Desktop 2008 but, judging by the 'obvious' care and attention they have lavished on, and how well they have kept their promises regarding Deskscape 2.0, I would expect this to be ready sometime around the summer of 2011.

If that sounds cynical on my part well, it is. Island Dog, you say you've kept people updated so, whe
[quote]Probably won't be a free public release of DeskScapes 2.0 in February. But it is available on Object Desktop right now in beta form.[/quote] This seems to be fairly typical of Stardock. Entirely unprofessional and that's my overall experience with them unfortunatley.... STARDOCK said Feb 2008 for public release...not the public. A member of this forum was told that it would be released on 27th Feb 2008 by STARDOCK's sales team.....but the bottom line is, it won't be, unl
