Guys....it pays to read an entire thread as often the information you angst over is already given.

Suggestions re searching torrents is all very well ...'in jest'...but note that not only is warez likely to trash your system via artifact or design [or both] it is not acceptable on Wincustomize.com....

They never fix bugs they ignore them like the tab always on top bug. some times a dock stays on top even when it is not checked.

It has been in every version of OD and no one fixes it. They say it will be fix in 2.0 but, I doubt it.

So, why do they waste it developing software like Impulse when they had a perfectly functional Stardock Central?

This has been discussed to death in other threads, but in a nutshell: large archive support (pretty important for new games), increased security, a more manageable code base, better external publisher support (TBD) and a few other things.

In any case, you can still use Stardock Central for everything ODNT.

One area Stardock have been putting resources in is developing a Dock App for Dell.

Called the Dell Dock, its been installed as standard on selected new Dell systems for the last 6 months or so. The Dell Dock has at least one of the enhancements that some have asked about here on this forum; that of drag and drop population of it's 'Flyout Menus', called 'Application Catagories' in the Dell Dock. It also keeps the flyout menus in a horizontal line (or vertical depending on the position of the Dock, top or right side etc.), rather than is the arc that OD+ gives. It has several limitations as compared to OD+, in that you can only have 1 dock, and there's no way to customize the icons in the Flyout menus, also it does take an age for dragged apps/files to appear in the Flyout Menus. So I suspect that the devs here are going to be busy ironing some of the bugs out of this project as well as out of OD+.

So I don't think the Stardock Devs are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs!!

I do hope though that they will focus some extra resources in the new year to developing further, what I personally think is their most useful product, namely OD+. I would happily pay for a 2.0 Upgrade, whether it only contained some bug fixes or had extra functionality. The usefulness of the product is well worth it in my opinion.

Well, Stardock has been commenting for years that ObjectDock 2.0 is coming out. If you've purchased ObjectDock before January 2010, you're probably out of luck.

I still see bugs in OD that have been there for years. They will NEVER be fixed because Stardock is busy making new junk and can't be bothered to fix the stuff that they've already collected their money for.

...kinda like a car dealership telling you, "We'll do the warranty work on your car just as soon as we've sold all the cars on the lot."

Just a question...

Would it be unreasonable to request a refund after using the program for six or more months? Many users have been patiently waiting for bugs to be fixed and decided to wait instead of instantly requesting a refund.

Do you know something we dont???
