Any new utility apps in the line for Stardock?

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 by thomassen | Discussion: Stardock Support General

There's been allot about what's coming up for Vista. Seem to be allot of eyecandy. Now I'm all up for eyecandy, but I really like the small utility applications Stardock has made over the years. Is there any more of that coming?
Yes, I am aware of the ThinkDesk suite, I have it allready. But that was announced a couple of years ago. I'm curious about the future plans? Is the market bigger for eyecandy?

I have ThinkDesk too.  I am afraid that apart from Multiplicity it's a dead end.  KeepSafe and ThinkSync both have MS competitors now.  Unless something changes radically, I think they are going to be over-run.  SecureProcess never had a market I don't think.

The productivity apps in ODNT don't get much attention either but as they stand there's not much to upgrade.  I love Enhanced File Dialog and Keyboard Launchpad is perfect.

Everyone knows my feelings on ObjectBar, the best productivity app Stardock makes.  Skinning it could be easier . .. but that's eyecandy and I can do without it.

I hope and think KeepSafe survives. The stuff they put in Vista wasn't quite the same. I like the backup ability for each file into the context menu. But I'd wish there was an option for folders.

I'm waiting for OB to be compatible with the latest WB to use the skins. And it'd be nice if it could adopt the system scheme when there is no WB applied.

How is it incompatable?
nd it'd be nice if it could adopt the system scheme when there is no WB applied.
It runs without WB!?!?  *YOU* run without WB!?!?!? 

I still have not rolled over to Vista (although I earned a free copy Vista Business).  No compelling reason yet.  So I haven't tried thier version.  Have you tried Synctoy?  I did and preferred ThinkSync but Stardock is not Microsoft.
