Whenever someone with an active Object Desktop subscription renews, it adds 1 year to the end of their subscription.
We had noticed that a sizeable number of people have renewed their Object Desktop subscriptions well into the future and we wanted to give those people something in return.
When the Magic Suite is complete (we're working on some additional WindowBlinds features with it) we'll do a database query of everyone who has an active subscription past January 1, 2009 and add the new premium suite into their account.
As for the comment about "worthy additions for Vista users" I can't help but wonder what that person was talking about. RightClick was updated for Vista (to support gadgets/widgets under Vista wasn't easy). We JUST released TweakVista. The DesktopX 3.5 beta is available right now and lets you create Vista sidebar gadgets (the only program out there that lets you create rich Vista sidebar gadgets), WindowBlinds 6 is in beta and has full Vista support including glass blurring, SkinStudio 6 is out and supports the new Vista controls.
I mean seriously, Vista's been out what? 8 months? And if you look at what's been delivered I would challenge someone out there to find a better deal than Object Desktop. Or heck, a software package that has been so completley updated to support both Vista and XP users at the same time. My wireless keyboard isn't even supported on Vista and it cost more than all of Object Desktop does.
I think that Stardock should come up with something for people who have been consistent users of Object Desktop too.
I also agree that marketing could come up with a better term than "elite". I'll pass the feedback along.
One other thing, next year there will be a new version of Object Desktop called Object Desktop Ultimate Edition which all current subscribers will be automatically upgraded to.
Did I miss something? SDC shows the last update for RightClick was on the 8th of June 2006. The History-file shows that this was the "skintool.exe" update for NET 2.0.It sure is not working on Vista 64bit (crashes during customization, whenever I click a tiny bit too fast on the "ok"-button)
Hmm. My SDC shows 8/6/2007 v1.24. Let me find out about that.
Yea. The term "elite" is just an arbitrary term invented by marketing to describe people who have long-term subscriptions (>1 year basically). It has no real meaning outside the realm of marketing and the fact they'll get a free suite.
Object Desktop Ultimate is our long term goal to merge all our desktop enhancement products into a single mega product and simplify the regular Object Desktop.
Seriously, try explaining to the average person what Object Desktop is. It's insane. There's like 20 things in it. So in the future, there will be Object Desktop which will be more targeted to consumers and Object Desktop Ultimate which will target power users and (in time) integrate all our various desktop enhancements so that we can end the "oh, you need to get Object Desktop and then download this program and that program." The integration will take some time though but that's the plan.
