What needs to be done.

Stardock / Wincustomize subscriptions need to be combined. Separate annual complementary subscriptions are overwhelming and unnecessary.

This combined subscription needs to include all master skins released up until the end of the subscription including all prior.

Stardock needs to develop their software for the most up to date operating system, compatible with both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. The entire Object Desktop package should qualify, not just the core.

All software only compatible only with 32 bit operating systems and XP needs to be either upgraded or discarded entirely.

Cavemen (XP users) need to eventually upgrade their stone computers.

Both Stardock and WinCustomize struck out looking on Vista, at least swing the bat for Windows 7.

What if you fit into all of them?

You get a medal and a 'special' version of ODNT that's still operable while wearing a strait jacket.

Generally development/support for an OS is discontinued as and when the OS usage drops to a significant [small] percentage.

It has happened already....Win95/98/2000 ....currently XP is in high-percentage use/popularity, and likewise 32bit vs 64.

If anything, Vista would be bypassed...to the point where if things worked OK in it AS WELL as Win 7 then well and good...but there's a fair chance that Vista will never reach market saturation currently seen by XP...and formerly by '98.

That's not going to be Stardock's fault.....instead think 'Microsoft'.

Ah, but age is not a prerequisite of genius... and LyLerk's visions for the future of computing are bordering on genius.

Unfortunately for LyLerk, however, those visions were seen long, long ago by folk at Microsoft, Apple and Linux, etc.

Heck, Frogboy and others have advocated going 64 bit only... and I see on the Windows Blog site that it's not happening with Windows 7, but it must inevitably happen as peoples needs and software requirements outgrow 32 bit.

Everything I say is my oppinion...

You have every right to your own opinion (notice 1 p) except when making derogatory comments about other people in such a way. Maybe they just aren't as fortunate as you to have Vista and the updated equipment to use it as an OS.
