From another post (March 3rd:

In November we announced that we would have DeskScapes 2.0 publicly available in February.

We have failed to have a stand alone public version available for a variety of reasons, primarily, the difficulty in dealing with so many different hardware configurations on Vista.

We have DeskScapes 2.0 beta on Object Desktop. ODNT users are more used to dealing with beta software and are giving us feedback which we're working through. If someone wants it bad enough, get Object Desktop.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the public beta which, we hope, will be in the next couple of weeks.

That's why it's called a "preview".

There are more than enough great "free" dreams in the gallery.

Stardock is supplying the ability to run dreams and a place for you to get 500 megs worth of additional dreams, downloadable from the gallery, at no cost to you.

I don't understand...what do you have to complain about?

If it were me, I would thank Stardock for the free preview and move on.

Hey Car Guy! I agree with you on that! However, you say that there are free dreams to use but when you double-click on them the interface comes up saying to use them you have to click on the "Buy" button to use them but unfortunately the buy button is inactive.

Just FYI to everyone.

JediMagoo...it appears that you are correct. I assumed that the preview would play the dreams in the gallery. I was mistaken.

It is true that they have dreams that are free here, but they also have some dreams you can't find anywhere else. As for having my premium dreams, I have an arrangement with them that allows them to offer them there.

Thank you so much for releasing the preview. It's a great tease for non-Ultimate users. I can't wait to purchase the full version so I can begin using more dreams. Hurry please!

I have Downloaded deskScapes Beta. and Bought Desktop Earth and Utopia Prime, when first intalled everithing was great, but later I made changes in objectDock Plus and since then things are not Smooth.

It seems there is a conflict between them, and since then I cant run Utopia Prime, and Desktop Earth runs but you cant see any of the icons of the desktop (like the recycle Bin, for example.

I hope this is resolved when v. 2.00 comes out soon.

I tried to download another dream but the following Windows notice apeared: "DreamSceane cannot execute when you select Windows Aero schema" it is my translation from spanish to eanglish.

What is Windows Aero, and how can I change it? Please help.

I take it you're from the site in question? Even if you have an agreement with MasterBaron, taking the dreams from other dream authors without their permission, and then CHARGING access for what is freely available here is still ripping and morally w.r.o.n.g. :(

I can only speak for myself, but they did ask my permission. Which dreams are you referring to?

Can't even see now, lost the link or something. But when I did look at it, I don't remember seeing author names anyway.

The preview does two things . .
  1. It allows folks that have been patiently waiting to have something to play with
  2. It allows Stardock to expose it to more desktops (but still a subset of EVERYONE) and illuminate issues that need to be fixed before full launch.
So I'd guess that the full version will be released after the shakedown and problems identified and fixed.  And *that* depends on how many people try it out and what problems they have.

It's not a great answer nor is it an official answer . . but I thinks it's an accurate answer.
