Let me clarify: the standalone browser is not going away and WC subscribers can continue to use that. But, it's hard to dislike it being available through SDC to registered users as well. 
There's also a new tray component coming next week for WC subscribers. It'll notify you as to new updates, new skins, and more. If you've got SDC or the WC Browser installer, it works in conjunction with them as well.
Honestly though, I'm thrilled to have this directly in SDC. It's far more convenient as I often have that running.

Will SDC be able to handle Subscriptions in place of the Browser? It would be great if it could handle all accounts...OD... WC Subcriptions and such

Yep, that is the plan.&nb; SD Central will become the Central location for
everything Stardock. It just takes awhile to get everything integrated
into it. It's all "planned", though, just like the universal use of the
Stardock.net account for logging into sites and SD Central (as well as additonal
goodies that are planned but not announced yet). It will just keep getting
better

working on getting it built into SDC as a service at this point (since you have
to register it in SDC to download it through SDC it makes sense that you can
also use it in SDC).

You just made my day (o.k. - not really day, but how about late evening?). I never liked the WC Browser - it just never really worked that great for me. I just tried the new version of SDC and am quite happy with the new features - it just makes good sense that all can be accessed from one place. I will be uninstalling the WC Browser this evening. Thanks!

Yes, we are working on integrating the browser into SDC. SDC is going to be a super-program that has everything Stardock in it. The browser function just makes sense to be in it. That way, you can flip between downloading and browsing and whatever else you need to do to keep up to date. I think it will be really cool when it's done, and will cut down on the programs that you need to keep track of.
I'm already hooked on using SDC to run all my programs. So, I'm pretty happy about the idea of having the browser built in so that I can launch everything from one location!
