I'd like to see better support for multiple displays accross the board. I would like to have more control over what goes into the MFU programs list - things like frequency, last date executed, importance, etc. I already mentioned this in another thread but this one would be more appropriate anyway - for RightClick, I would like to be able to display up to four right-click menus at once, one per each "quadrat", similar to 3ds max's

Reply to All Versions of Windows Vista on One DVD in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

No such thing as unhackable, the only question is how much trouble would it be for the average joe to hack it, whether or not they'd have to sacrifice some of the service (upgrade, security center maybe), and ultimately of course, whether it's worth it or not. I must say though, that given these news, I think Microsoft needs to drop the price of vista, significantly - for one, manufacturing only one DVD is cheaper than one for each version, so why not

Reply to ObjectBar 2.0 Released! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Looks great, can't wait to try it out. Only problem is, with all these various tools for desktop customization I never seem to be able to find that perfect dektop look and layout, every week there's something new I just gotta try, or make or what not. How the heck am I suppose to get any work done if all I do is mess around with wb, od, ob, rainy, and all the various widgets for dx. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALI

Reply to Microsoft Unveils the "Zune" in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Actually, if Microsoft manages to do everything they want with the Zune, as a platform, not just a music player, then it's gonna be big - see XBox, 360 and XBox Live for reference. That's basically what they're going for but on an even larger scale - complete integration of music, movies, games, online identity, home theater and anything else of that kind. If done right, it's a good thing. Personally for me, so far the only problem I have wi

Reply to Microsoft Unveils the "Zune" in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The features look good - WiFi and FM tuner are especially tempting, but the thing is just so ugly. Not only is it ugly, but it's like the iPod's ugly cousin - at least other players try to look different, this one is like, well it's like if Microsoft have designed the iPod Now, I'm usually in the function-over-form camp, but in this case I'm not touching th

Reply to Feature Films on Your iPod? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well technically it's not about "movies on the iPod", as converting movie files to iPod's format was possible before, it's about movies on iTunes... and I personally don't think there is a large market for that.

Reply to Feature Films on Your iPod? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I can understand TV shows - it's nice to listen to The Daily Show while riding to work (though even that is kinda reaching IMHO), but why would anyone want to buy movies for iPod?? What joy is there to watch a movie on what, a 3x4 screen, maybe less, listening to it through headphones while still hearing all the noise outside? Oh yeah I'm sure Spiderman would look really awesome in all its tiny noisy glory <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles

My next OS will cost as much as my XBox 360. That just seems wrong somehow. Maybe a better way to look at it would be to say that Vista will cost only a tiny fraction of the price for PS3 The prices are indeed

Well ideally everything would be free and we won't need copyright protection but things aren't ideal so given that I think you have the best content delivery/copyright protection system, at least that I encountered. Maybe it's more cumbersome if you don't have stardock central but I do and... can I just say how freaking nice it is not to have to go through twenty dialogs and 5 restarts just to install or update a piece of software! Applications like stardock central are the future of content del

Private Messaging also gets my vote. In addition to that I would like to see in the "My Skins" section of the user's profile the option to display a detailed list, i.e. similar to how individual galleries list their items, with screenshots and first few lines of the description. Also I would like to see "skin subscriptions" - similar to how some forums have thread subscriptions, here you would subscribe to the skins. Subscribing

Reply to ObjectBar 2.0 goes gold in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The deskop menu features of ObjectBar are gone I believe. It's focusing on creating desktop UI's. I guess by "desktop menu features" you're referring to the right click customizable menu, and that doesn't fall under the category of "desktop UI's" why exactly...? Actually, it's probably for the best, less co

Reply to ObjectBar 2.0 goes gold in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Looks great! I am curious about something though - part of the things that OB can do is the same thing as RightClick, although it does come with a larger memory footprint. So what are your plans in regards to that? Are you going to phase out RightClick, or take it to a slightly different direction, or leave it as a stand alone component for those that just want that functionality and nothing else?

Reply to Internet Explorer 7 RC1 Released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I can't help but wonder how long it will take for IE7 to become the dominant browser (in comparison to the other IE versions I mean), and how much hell would web designers have to go through to support IE6, IE7, FireFox and, oh heck, even IE5. Oh and I'm not IE7 hater, in fact, I like a lot of its aspects and I'm glad that the average Joe user will soon have a more or less normal browser, and who knows, they might even become more browser-sa

Maybe I'm missing something but how does an app that is designed to deliver newspaper news in a newspaper-like form threatens an app that delivers news period? I realize both are news but not all sites provide "newspaper worthy" news. I doubt there is a need for neowin for example to switch to some reader that will do what, expand that entire 3 lines news story with a link to the entire screen and scale the fonts correctly? I think the whole idea of th

Very funny stuff, I especially liked the bits about picture of a dog in the start bar and the boat. Though if you gonna make an april's fool joke you gotta go through with it and not put "(april's fool)" at the end of the story. Now, if you'd only published the first two paragraphs, that would've been an awesome april's fool joke. <img src="http://images3.stardoc
