DX problems

from WinCustomize Forums

just tried using impulse to update desktopX to version 4 and it says that my registration is not valid... ok so i know that my sub runs out on july 31 2012 and when i check the stardock products page DX4 is not listed for download. is this what is the norm for impulse now?. everytime i load it there shows an update for WB to 7.20d but as soon as it finishes validating the registrations the update disappears. What is going on?, i thought we could continue to use impulse to update our paid for valid subscription software... but no. Is stardock going to release an updater just for their products? because this is going from silly to absolutely stupid now.

 

Thanks

So we all have 1-2 GB graphic-cards, 4+ GB RAM, i7 multicores and what not to look at plain boring unicolored or least simple gradient tiles in the future ? No thanks.

Where are you getting that from?

"We've extended the trend we started with Windows 7, of keeping our system requirements either flat or reducing them over time. So Windows 8 will be able to run on a wide range of machines because it will have the same system requirements or lower" as Windows 7, said Michael Angiulo, the Microsoft executive who showed the new software at a press event in Taipei on Thursday.

"Another thing we did is build intelligence into Windows 8 to adapt the user interface based on what hardware you have. So whether you're upgrading or buying a new PC, Windows will adapt itself for your hardware," he said.

I think You got that one wrong. ;-) I meant we all have really decent hardware now. It is too good to just have the Metro GUI like unicolored tiles with some black or white text. Metro is okay for the phone but for descent PCs I would want more.
