Got Windows Vista? Got Object Desktop? Then animate your wallpaper

DeskScapes provides animated wallpaper for all users of Windows Vista.
Animated wallpaper isn't just for Windows Vista Ultimate users anymore. With the release of beta 1 of DeskScapes 2.0 on Object Desktop, all users of Vista can use the hundreds of available .DREAM files here on WinCustomize as their animated backgrounds.
Object Desktop users also get some exclusive animated wallpaper content including four dynamic dreams (Water Dream, Earth Dream, Water Color, and Box Sample).
If you don't have Object Desktop, you can get it here.

How is it unprofessional when you have people directly involved in the release and development keeping people updated on what is going on? You don't find that in very many places.
The person who called was not told of a definite 27th release, but that we hoped it would make that date. We want to make sure the DeskScapes release is enjoyable for all users, and if it takes a bit more time to ensure that than so be it. I personally would prefer taking the time to make sure it is as stable as possible instead of releasing it just to make a date.

If that sounds cynical on my part well, it is. Island Dog, you say you've kept people updated so, when is the official release date.......
Bottom line is, I really don't mind if it's not until next Feb, just don't tell me it'll be now and then not deliver...remember the old watch words...over promise and under deliver, well, that's what you've done

Sometimes dates move backwards and sometimes dates move forwards. They are not set in stone.

And that's your answer......and you really think you're a professional organisation...okay then! Keep taking the dried frog pills guys.

Perhaps you would prefer us to follow the example of certain major software vendors, and release based on schedule rather than on readiness?

And that's your answer......and you really think you're a professional organisation...
Surely the fact that Stardock aren't prepared to release it until it is as near to perfect as possible only confirms that they are a professional outfit.
harrym...what is so desperately urgent that you can't wait a while for a finished product?

If this disturbs you, I suggest waiting to purchase our software until you have the ability to try it without purchase. This will encourage us to finish it.

Yes but the beta is not all you get, you also get all of Object Desktops software along with it, now I'm laughing because you failed to realize this.

This seems to be fairly typical of Stardock. Entirely unprofessional and that's my overall experience with them unfortunatley....
STARDOCK said Feb 2008 for public release...not the public. A member of this forum was told that it would be released on 27th Feb 2008 by STARDOCK's sales team.....but the bottom line is, it won't be, unless we fork out $50 for what is a very poor application...well, I did that before and I won't do it again......
