There are a few high resolution dreams but some of the dreams are created on lower end hardware soooooooo.....   

"We" aren't catering to anybody.   

I'm just a tad curious, if I may ask: Just what IS this "higher end" dream you speak of that "lower end" machines can't run? Do you require ungodly resolutions and anything below 1080p is completely unacceptable? Is the quality of the artwork being presented here by both Stardock and the wonderful individual artist not quite up to par with your definition of "high end"? Is there something I'm missing?

Don't take this post the wrong way, please. I truly am 100% genuinely curious about your post. I simply want a little more details concerning your comments, thats all.

I agree. I think first of all, 'attitude' can be read into things when you can't 'hear' the tone. Secondly, lowly XP users like myself (lol) will be asking the opposite soon enough as everything moves more and more towards Vista.

Very True..

This is a perfect example of "$h!t and run" it happens all the time people come in complain and leave. No need to call out the militia. I have really nothing to offer the community I can make simple log-ons and I've only ever had one really good one. I can't give much therefore I don't ask for much. I just wish I had skills other than photography.

In defense [if that is what I have to call it] of Dragoro ...I was talking to him just this morning in irc. He had a minor problem with ObjectDock+ not being nice with his Vista machine, and I was helping him with it.

The whole time we were talking, he was extremely polite, very patient [as there were times I had to just leave him there waiting for my response, as I'm at work] and had absolutely no 'undertone' in his conversation with me. It was refreshing.

This is the problem with forums ...people DO read more into a post than is actually there, and I think this is a result of people coming to expect there will be a nasty person amongst the good ones, as this is the nature of the beast [read: internet] we are using as our medium.

In this case, Dragoro is NOT the bad guy, and although I don't know him personally, from the conversation we had today I'd say he meant well but did'nt get the message across as intended.

Back to topic please....

I guess a lot depends on the context that you look at things but I think that perhaps Dragoro's post was judged a little out of context at times here. I have often wondered why Microsoft themselves has not come out with more content for this application, (rhetorical question..no response required ), and if in fact they are depending solely on companies like Stardock and the community here to support and release content for this new tool they have released for Vista Ultimate. The dream file format, created by MS requires Ultimate and a fairly beefy system to run correctly. That's not elitist or snobbish on Dragoro's part, just a fact of life.

Dragoro makes a valid point for those who have shelled out a lot of money for high end systems so that they can run applications like this and others that are in the works.

I don't find that in the least offensive or "elitist" but rather a pretty straight forward question as to the what the future might hold for the investment he has made.

This kind of reminds me of that commercial, "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful"

I try to assume that anything I read here is meant in the best possible way.  It's a leap of faith sometimes and sometimes fails.  But it's worth the effort every time.

i for one have an up to date pc.. i choose not to run vista.. I think he didnt realize his wording would sound so smug...we need to remember that not everybody is up on netticut, and not all are as well scripted and versatile in articulating their thoughts in to words as others are......

all I can say is you have a "high end" pc and not something low end (I don't have a high end pc but my pc doesn't have a chain attached to it so that it can double as a boat anchor either), start creating & uploading high end content to the site.

I doesn't cater to anyone when skinning. I just make what I think is cool and upload it.
