Hi Richard, I make all the pricing decisions on the software side, so any issues flow back to me, but I do challenge that we do not reward our loyal customers.

The Windows Start menu has evolved considerably during the past couple of decades. What is typically considered the focal point of the operating system and the home to all of your apps, has gone from an app launcher to a productivity hub filled with apps, and documents, to a place that shows advertisements . While Start11 makes it easy to remove unwanted content like advertisements,

The desktop is a complicated and wonderful place in the world of Windows. It’s the centerpiece of productivity in Windows 10 and 11 but it’s also a dumping ground for unfinished tasks, icons that open critical applications, and widgets that either try to entertain or provide information to improve your workflows. There are various ways to try and standardize your desktops, from using group policy workflows that won’t fully accomplish what you are trying to do, to try

Anyone who has a classic subscription can check by going to your account/downloads and you will see the following flag below, that Object Desktop will always remain in the classic model that Stardock has used. Your software will continue to function, even if it lapses, as it always has - however, you will not have access to new software released if your subscription has lapsed. If you extend/renew, you will still be in the Classic subscription as long as you extend the existing account.
