A decade of Stardock and Object Desktop!
One very happy customer.
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 by Hawkeye666 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Tomorrow is an auspicious day for me in my relationship with Stardock. On February 19th, I will officially have been a subscriber to Object Desktop for ten full years! In that time I have had only a handful of real issues, all of which have been either interoperability problems, or issues with beta builds. I have run ODNT on every flavor of windows from 98SE onward, even a tiny stint in ME, gag.
In all this time I have never thought about not renewing my subscription.
I want to thank The Frogmeister and company for all their help over the years and for giving my Windows life so much more flair. And even more so, I want to thank all the artists past and present for their work and the great enjoyment I get from seeing and using their inspirations to make my computers so much less mundane.
Thanks all of you and here's to another 10 years!

That about sums up that OS...

Subscriber, no I think, member, no thats a different story. I don't think Stardock had subscribers back in 98. If I'am wrong, let me know.

WOM...I think WC membership came with the SD purchase back then. I could be wrong, though.

No, you only needed to register if you wanted to post in the forums (and maybe skin comments?) until something like 2003. You could still download skins tho.....
I was big on anonimity back in those days so I didn't register until I had to.

Yep....yer wrong...
Wincustomize wasn't around 10 years ago....it was born on March 21, 2001....or was that 20....
'twas a while ago....

We always knew who he wasn't......
or whoever was responsible for that work of art).

Ah, the 'good old days' 
You know, Stardock still sends me a link to WindowBlinds 1.3 - download seems to work too, though I haven't gone through with it.

I do believe they/we opend for membership registrations on March 21., but the site was online before that - according to the [waybackmachine]
Damn... the site layout has come a long way since then
Hawkeye666 - here's to another decade of fun and skinning!

I wish I had that dinosaur for my kids tenth birthday last year.

Wom.
You are confusing Wincustomize, not even in existance when I started subscribing to the Object Desktop Network software collection. ODNT has to my knowledge always been subscription based.
And if I'm not mistaken Neil wasn't with Stardock yet when I started. The cursor program was a seperate application that was aquired later. And I had already purchased it prior to it becoming Stardock.
Neil correct an old man's fuzzy memory if need be.

Jafo tries to do the math but I'm pretty sure Neil's been around ten years or more....
Reply #18 Thursday, February 19, 2009 8:04 AM
Neil's been around since Adam was a lad...
Reply #19 Thursday, February 19, 2009 8:42 AM
I could easily be confusing developers. So I would bow to the knowledge of insiders without hesitation.
