I miss the version history and a release date additional to the version number. But I think this will be implemented in the final ? Other than that no problems at all. I really like it.

So I just opened Impulse and it updated and I happened to go to the registrations page and noticed that it now shows Object Desktop with a new expiration date and also shows Object Desktop Ultimate with the expiration date that used to be on Object Desktop.
Does that sound right to the people in the know?

Phoon/Hollow man . . why don't you start a new post with your ranked features of SDC that you don't want to lose and MORE IMPORTANTLY -- WHY. Why it's good for the average user. Why it's good for the power user. Why it's good for Stardock. Let's see who tags on and what SD thinks.
I'm not saying it'll go anywhere but have you ever known a software developmetn company that cared or listened more to thier client base than Brad and company?

I personally couldn't disagree more. The advanced features could be added so the custom settings can be used (such as the picking the start menu location, viewing preferences, etc ). Taking away features is not progress and frankly, to abandon them for the sake of new users only is a real slap in the face to those that helped in this journey from long ago. Stardock can still stay on top of the game without forgetting about the rest of us.
Just because we are used to something doesn't mean it's the best way. I mean . . I recall wringing my hands when Component manager died.

I'm sure more settings are yet to come. There's no reason Impulse can't have an 'advanced user mode' (eventually), and I would not be OK with losing options.
Heck, I'm still upset about a couple of options I lost with WB5.........
And what he said.

If some power features have to go for Stardock to stay at the top of their game for the apps served though Impulse I'm OK with it.

Uhm....is there a reason I don't see CursorXP/FX anywhere? I bought CXP and have that installed, and thought CFX would at least be listed to download/install, but I don't see either.

ACK! Don't ya hate that? (No offense, Jimbo9294)
I had the same problem as Jimbo9294. Every time I tried to launch it I'd get the same error. Even tried uninstall/re-download/re-install to no avail.
I'd like to know the trick, too.
