Last week I reviewed ObjectDock 1.9. Liked it enough to fork over $20 for ObjectDock 2.0. I received an email indicating that I needed to first download and install Impulse, and then, through Impulse, download and install ObjectDock.
This is wrong!
I purchased ObjectDock 2.0, for which I should have a downloadable, standalone installer. I did NOT purchase the right to download, install and have running (as a service) a program called Impulse, and then have the right to download ObjectDock through it.
For everyone who loves Impulse and uses it for what it was originally intended, that's great! But as an ad-pumping installer that is REQUIRED whenever you purchase ANYTHING, and then, by default, remains resident as a service on your system, is just wrong.
And Stardock SUPPORT on this issue has been terrible. Only an automated reply indicating ticket number.
This is not the way to win friends and influence people.
Anyone else experience this, and have thoughts one way or the other?
Thank you.
