Can't wait!

Sweeeeeeeeeett

Suggestion:
On the grouping, I'd like to be able to have the taskbar items grouped together, but not collapsed down to one item with a menu. So, if I had six Internet Explorer windows open, I'd still have six Internet Explorer items, but they would all be next to each other and not spread out over the dock items.

You probably already thought of this, but I thought I'd put in my 2 cents.

Looks like a great program. Can't wait to use it.

Awesome!! I will finally be able to use a dock on each screen (or even more!). Other new features also look greatdefinitely getting this when it is released (soon, I hope). Good work Stardock!

There is a program a lot like this for MacOSX/9 called "Drag Thing". Though I am happy to see someone make a windows equivalent that is better than the other attempts like cooltabs.

worth it.

I ranted about this issue in my frequent IRC channel, but I think it's better suited here. This isn't a rant in the sense that I have some selfish agenda to accomplsih, but a legitimate concern with this product having a price for ObjectDesktop users. I apologize in advance for the grammatical errors, but this was a brain-dump into an IRC channel and reads as such. The only editing done was to tone down language for posting in this public forum.

[begin]

The "plussing" as I like to call it, of freeware annoys me. If you're an ObjectDesktop OWNER, then ObjectDock Plus should be free or I'd settle for reasonably priced. I just hate when people try to make money hand over foot, despite looking completely gready for it.

*Someone mentions getting a crack or keygen* Stealing it won't make the silly notion of a company providing a shareware version of a freeware product any less silly, now will it? With its name and functionality, I see ObjectDock as a part of the Object Desktop brand of products.

*Someone asks me what ObjectDock is, exactly* I don't even think ObjectDock is worthy of being paid software, it's a utility that is an extensible, customizable equivalent to the native Taskbar. It mimics the new apple launch bar. I can understand the business strategy of creating a freeware utility and then releasing a *fee-based* version of the SAME utility (I am a Marketing major), but more than that, I'm a business major and know that this isn't good business, despite being good marketing. The two must work hand in hand, and I feel Stardock has failed here.

*Someone mentions, "They'll do anything they can"* I wonder if they'er selling it, just because they can, or do they truly believe they have a userbase that's loyal enough to fall for this crap. *Probably the former someone says* It's just like CursorXP, the shareware version offers little to no benefit over the free version, yet they charge you an unbelievable price for it, despite being an ObjectDesktop owner.

So, my complaint is that.. I'm a paying user of ObjectDesktop.. Stardocks flagship application that's supposedly a bundle of their desktop enhancement utilities. WHY ON EARTH, make your users pay for an addon? $14.95 at that!! And that's AFTER you've already dropped $50 for ODNT!

*Someone says: attila, write a fierce aggravating email demanding justice* I'd rather just rant here on IRC, it feels better. Then it dawned on me, the point of ranting is for people to feel your pain, so here you are, my rant, FEEL my pain. Does it make sense?

[end]

umm...ObjectDock has been free to everyone for years now. $15 isn't reasonable? Walk a mile along the highway...you'll find enough pop and beer cans to cover it.

You could at least rant about it in the *right* IRC channel, Stardock's!

If it's not worth the price, people will not pay it. ObjectDock users continue to get ObjectDock, just as CursorXP users continue to get CursorXP. They just don't get the features considered to be "Plus".

If you think it should be in OD, complain enough and I guess it might get in - that's how capitalism works, right? I wouldn't bet on it, but it might. Of course, renewal fees would be likely to go up for everyone, as well.

Object Desktop != everything Stardock makes. It's a suite of specific desktop enhancement utilities. And for $50, it's probably the world's best deal on utility software as-is.  If we were to throw in ObjectDock and CursorXP and everything else we'd have to charge a lot more for it.

BTW, there is nothing like ObjectDock Plus out there that is "free". Some of the technologies in it are pretty exclusive.

Frogboy, who's going to have access to the BETA (ODNT subscribers please )?

Oh and we have a ton of new features that will be part of the 1.x product that will come out over the coming months.  Some really cool stuff such as monkeying with workspaces, folder cabinets, more plugins, system tray fly out, etc.

we can buy OD+? guess I stroll on over to the OD homepage and see whats up!
