Sounds good, it's not a very high price. I thought about buying Object Desktop, but the current version is from 2007. Would it be worth to wait for a 2008 edition?
If you buy OD now you get updates for a year, no matter when you start. Though we put year dates on them, the subscription itself is ALWAYS being updated. So, no matter what, as long as you have a subscription, you get all the latest stuff.
Just as a note, 2008 subscriptions have some changes in the way they are made. If you subscribe now, you will get an extra bonus that will save you money. (We haven't announced all that, so I can't give specifics, but I would urge you to subscribe now if you are going to subscribe).
