Does anyone know the current status of these issues?
I've used OD1.90 Free on Vista/32 and Win7/64 as well as 1.90Plus and OD2.0Plus on Vista32 bit and Windows7 64bit.
I can only relate my observations, YMMV.
1.90 was smooth and reliable on all OS's, with only a rare crash or two. On 64 bit, it did take a bit longer to load.
2.0 on all OS's takes much, much longer to load. I didn't time it but let's say up to 2-4 times longer than 1.90.
2.0 crashed more often, "drags" when unhiding a tabbed dock and is sluggish in other operations. the back up your theme function is cumbersome, text Dock labels would often appear under the tabs or dock, and there are a lot of reports of trouble with the systray and running application/ peek features, which I didn't use, just search the forums. There were other things, but I stopped using ODPlus over a year ago and can't remember everything else.
My rig is an AMD Phenom Quad core 9850BE/4GB/8800GT Win7 Ultimate. Everything else SD runs like a well oiled clock for me but OD Plus, for what it was needed for (fast, easy program access) was just not up to par with what I replaced it with. I mostly use a DX theme and Winstep Xtreme for program launching.
I have high hopes that ODPlus will get another major tune-up and I will start using it again. I still have some planned uses for it.
Until then, Winstep Nexus runs rings around it performance and feature wise.
I may get knocked off the SD Christmas card list, but this is my honest opinion.
My advice is to try the free version of ObjectDock 2.0 for testing and evaluation.
I should add that to the best of my knowledge, neither version has ever caused my computers to freeze up, just a long delay in loading.
