Heh.

  1. Many of Stardocks non-gaming apps have gotten love
  2. Objectdock 1.x does exactly what it is advertised to do
  3. OD 2.x is being worked on and rocks!
  4. (MS would never hire someone named ZubaZ)

:thumbsup:

Be careful what you wish for. Buy outs like that don't usually happen piece meal. They would want to buy it all. Assuming they came up with the right price, it could be difficult to turn down. But that would be in the evil alternate reality where my alternate self actually likes skinhit.

OD 2 is vaporware from what I can tell. I can't find any real evident that would make me believe it is being worked one expect for SD posters saying they can't talk about it.

 

I been hearing this since 2008 at least.

If MS got its hands on OD or any other Stardock app, they'd eff it up and development would cease entirely.... it'd go on the backburner and then they'd want more apps to increase their stake, all of which would suffer the backburner fate.

Nope, let MS stick to OSes and office related stuff, and let Stardock get on with the business of customising software... ok, so some updates are a bit slow appearing (probably still ironing out all the bugs), but the bet still is that they'll be 200% up on what MS would offer up.

I would love to see updates for the customizing woftware come out more often then they do, as I'm sure everyone else would.  Having said that, I would never want to see MS acquire the software.  Just my personal opinion.

Yes, at times it seems more emphasis is put toward games, and that's probably because is don't play games.  I would like to see more information of whats happening with the customization software as is done for games, again just my personal opinion.

I don't know whether MS should buy OD or not but they should buy Fences. They're rich, how about 50 mill?

Yes,many,many times for at least a month. You have to refresh the page until all the  toolbars appear in the reply box or it will claim it's an empty reply. It did it so often I just put it down as a "under construction bug".Downright annoying if you don't catch it before you make a long reply .Copy,refresh,and paste until it sticks,lol. Using IE7 btw.
