I think you will find the version of WindowFX that works on Windows 8 is 5.1 not 5.01.

You know, this is kinda' amazing. With all this research and devolopment going on, Win8 may turn out to be quite useful thanks to Stardock. DANG !!! and I was sooooo deadset on NOT venturing into that territory. Does that make me wishy-washy ??

As W8 is the norm Stardock loses at least one faithful client (been since OS/2) No way in hell i am going to install the MS cash machine. I can understand MS is frantically looking to retain their 30.000% profit margin but in the (finally) changing world that is going to be impossible.
So they put their beady eye on the successes of Apple and Google stores and want a piece of that action. Since they are proprietary they'll go the Apple route, and add to it that only MS store installed programs will function giving them total control over what you install and what you pay.
W8 is the first step. W9 will be the next. Till enough sheeple jumped onboard to exercise le coup de grace and take out the possibility of installing unapproved (by MS) applications.
At least that is their road plan.
By then an Android desktop will be available, and count me in. If my tablet is anything to go by it'll be sweet.
But my renewal for Objectdesk will be unforthcoming next year. The current w7 with my stardock applications will serve me fine for many years to come.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I tried to install Sound Packager on my new Win8 laptop, and Object Desktop Manager tells me that it is not compatible with Win 8. Have things changed since the OP said that it was working on Win8?

Publius, Sound Packager will not install via SDC or ODM. The version I have archived from the store (V. 1.3.0.29), standalone installer, will install and works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro MCE x64.
