Another joke from Stardock ?

Object Desktop 2009 renew and ObjectDock Plus for only $30

Tuesday, January 27, 2009 by neophil78 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just received a mail from Stardock about Object Desktop renew and ObjectDock Plus ...

Well maybe i missunderstand, but i get ObjectDesktop until September 2009 and i already bought ObjectDesktop Plus.

Though will i need to renew now Object Desktop to be able to get ObjectDock Plus updates ?

3 guys walk into a bar....

 

You'd think the first one would have warned the other two.

I'd like to know if i will have to re pay to get an Objectdock Plus update (which is still in beta since october, 5th 2007 as SDC says ...)
As always stated when you buy a stand-alone product you buy that version.  So if you bought version 1 you would have to buy version 2 when it is released.  Stardock has a history of providing free upgrades and discounts for recent buyers however that can not be expected.

Most version increases have a cost for most applications.

Though why will i have to pay again for ObjectDock Plus ? In the past it was never like that

You won't have to pay for it again, unless you upgrade it after the year/version you paid for. Unless I am mistaken it has always been that way. It will always be yours. Just no more upgrades unless you buy them.

ObjectDock?  Well . . first . .not everyone has it . . so they wouldn't "pay again".  Second . . the gold version does exactly what it says it will do for the OS it's certified for.  Third . . . the beta version is optional and does improve on the gold version (except for unsupported OSs).

So in the end . .it's a good deal for many people.  If it's not a good deal for you . . don't do it. 

 

For everyone else . . . ODNT rocks and will continue to rock.  And OD+ is a phenomenal application well worth the money.

Thanks for the link Zu...I didn't get this offer for some reason and the deal was too sweet to pass up. Got Object dock plus and another year added for the cost of a renewal.

Realistically.. All apps are in beta. As Os's change and new features are added every app will be essentially in perpetual beta. When a Dev stops developing new features or updates, then the app will die off as it looses intrest/ compatibility.

I had a problem with OD in as much as most of the apps didn't work on my machine and I ended up with just the same ones I had as standalone to start with.

Really disappointed me, I was so excited to get OD at first..............

Guy walks into a bar with a huge bullfrog on his head

Bartender is puzzled and is compelled to ask: "How come?"

The bullfrog answers: "To cut a long story short, it started out as a wart on my arse."

Guy walks into a bar with a pig under his arm. The bartender says "What are you doing in here with that pig?"

And the pig says "He's buying!".
