Is it worth me getting Object Desktop??

Desktop X isn't the only proggy in Object Desktop. Take a look at the contents:- https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/ There is a whole load of possibilities for customizing Windows. Consider what you get for purchasing Windowblinds, then add on a whole lot more, plus access to beta versions and you have a bargain.

Object Desktop buys you a proggy called Component Manager. With that you can download all the other programs at the touch of a button, and keep up to date with all the latest versions. I can't imagine having Windows without it. Go for it!

I am a recent upgrader from WB3 to ODN. I have zero regrets.

Look at things like IconPackager, Window FX. These are simple to use programs, but things that once you try you want want to do with out. Now add up the price of all these programs. All together it's close to $60. BUT, you get all of them and more with an upgrade to ODN for $35

It's a definate bargin, and you will wonder why you ever used windows without them.

Windowblinds, Iconpackager, BandVWM, Window FX, Object Edit, Spring Folders.

That's all the programs from OD that I use regularly (Well, Iconpackager is largely a use-and-forget program,) and I couldn't imagine running windows without any of them any longer.

Lots of people like DesktopX, and lots of people like ObjectBar. While I think they're great programs, I don't personally care to use either of them. Still - I got a /wonderful/ value for my money, I think!

DesktopX is most definitely not a pain! You just load it up, choose from a myriad of wonderful themes, and enjoy! I can't imagine using the boring Windows desktop anymore. Combine all this with IconPackager and WindowBlinds etc, and you have something special. Go ahead, treat yourself, get the whole nine yards, you only live once etc. etc......

yeah to anwser your question... hell yeah you want object desktop why??? because it beneifeits everybody... not just everyday users, college kids, people in the office, but everybody. The skins and themes availible increase productivity like never before... or you can make your own to increase your productivity to the maximum... and DesktopX their is no pain... customizing your skins is as easy as it will ever get... DesktopX is cool for everyone not only the techno geeks...

Oh yeah...you get tons of goodies, get to be the first to peak at alpha's as well as getting the final as long as your subscrition is current. Its useful and from an $$$ to Fun Ratio attitude worth every darn penny

Yes...go for it!! I have OD and I love it! For sure worth the money!

This wasn't a good question to begin with on here. Almost everybody on here has bought OD and love it, so ofcourse they are going to tell you to buy it also. I, on the otherhand had an option - to buy Object Desktop or put food on the table for me and my family. Guess what happened? $60US seems like peanuts, but in reality, that's almost $100 where I live because of the currency. That $100 went to something way more useful like food or the gas bill. I don't want people to hate me on here or start fights, that's the last thing I want, but some people can't afford to dish out $60US. So I wouldn't tell people to rush out and buy OD not knowing if they can afford it or not. A lot of people on here say it's only $60 or it's only $20 for windowblinds, but to some people that money may be alot. Peace

understood... but I bought it while working a minimum wage job, and had bills to pay... but definatly I wouldn't buy anything before putting food on the table, if you don't have the money to feed your family sell you computer if you have to... don't let anybody tell you otherwise... but if you have EXTRA money...

deus_heart did mention that he was interested in buying it. If he couln't afford it, he probably wouldn't have asked. Correct?
(We should all probably cut down on the calories anyway, huh?)

You're right there, brdfryr123...
I'm very interested in buying a GMC Envoy this spring, but I can't afford it - but I'll probably guy one anyway.
My wife and looked at a house a little over a year ago. We couldn't afford it - but we bought it anyway.

BTW, brdfryr123... How did you know I was fat?

Yes, and if we all waited to have children until we could afford it, would there be anybody left?
Fat? Who's fat?

my cats

PS they all love OD

Your cats would be left, or fat?

fat

Im not a big fan of the GMC envoy... go for the suburban, trust me... it is good... (but get the 2500 it has a 454) the envoy just doesn't have enough power for me... pop the hood on that thing... and your like, where is the engine??? but if you like it... no offense to you... I only like cars that have more than 300 cubic inches in the engine.. :0 hehe he... ar ar ar ar ar..

Thats my everyday drive.

Envoy was really cramped behind the wheel, heck in the passenger seat too. If you get hammered they will have to peal you out of it.

Ah...Yank-tanks or Tokyo-twostrokes...gimme something 'European'...perhaps in a Farina Red....

Even though I live in England, I have always been a fan of American cars. I have owned a '73 Cadillac Eldorado (with the 500ci V8 and front wheel drive!) a '74 Mustang Mach1 (one lady owner, 8000 miles on the clock) a '86 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am (in pure white with black interior), and various other miscellaneous vehicles. My wife is currently hankering after one of those Chevy trucks, (Typhoon or something?) personally, I think she has more chance of making love to the Pope!

This is sooo true yall! Everybody buys things they can't afford. I have 2 kids so I do all the time, but hey...you only live once right?

I'm not too keen on vehicles with large engines, especially with the price of gas now. As long as it gets me from point A to point B and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg, I'm happy. I'm driving a '92 Corsica now and my wife drives a '91 Tempest with 250,000 km on it, so anything will be an improvement. I wanted a GMC Jimmy but I don't think they make them any more. Oh well, I like my GM and I am not towing or hauling anything, just a wife, dog and kids (in the near future) or I don't need anything too powerful.

How can you complain about the cost of fuel? Over here it's nearly £4 per gallon ($6). I suspect you wouldn't be happy about having a large engine with those prices.

dang $6.00 a gal, I'd walk, ride my 18 speed or ride a bike, rice burning wrist rocket
