I am as keen as Your are on 2.0, but to keep it fair : There is no right in a refund, as we all purchased 1.x. You won't ask for a refund on Windows XP because Microsoft was late on Vista, right ?

And don't expect too many friendly answers regarding the tone of Your post.

breakfast?   BREAKFAST?!?!   When I was your age there was no breakfast! We'd be grateful for a dry crust and only minimally muddy water!

sheesh!

On the other hand, if Stardock were to refund people then they'd be loosing money, which is a good incentive to get the wheels rolling quicker. This thread is another example of a frustrated customer. That's what happens when people are made to wait and aren't given any information. Simples!

While I agree that when one purchases a product, one does so on its present rather than future merits, but future merits may (and very often do) come into consideration. This is particularly applicable to ObjectDock, because its product page states that it is in constant development and is enhanced often. Such statement cannot be misinterpreted and it's not unreasonable for a potential customer to buy on the basis of OD being a good product (at present, as perceived by said customer) and the claim that it is updated regularly (a future merit).

Thank you for trying and it is concerning that people who are involved in OD are reluctant to share information with the community that has been patient in awaiting updates to OD.

This thread is broken for me on IE8.

I would assume it is due to the formatting of reply # 8, perhaps the Microsoft  Word copy and paste bug.

The MP Mac client has been something of a pain.  We have a PPC version running but then the Intel macs appeared.  Recent developments mean there are now more macs around Stardock so it looks good for that to finally be released this year.

As for Linux, I don't recall talking about that myself.

Thinkdesk, I honestly don't know.

No, that's how it makes you feel.  Don't speak for everyone if you don't know how everyone feels.  From reading these forums, imo, it seems alot of trifle things make you feel disrespected when they shouldn't...Ma'am.

On topic...OD does and has always worked great for me.  I don't use it how others do or want to use it so I can't sympathize with their problems.  I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying I don't experience them.  What I have a problem with is people always calling the Developer(s) out on this same, tired issue.  Incognito, it seems, lurks in the corner just waiting for someone to put a thread in the OD category so he can spout the same old song and dance he's been spouting for soooooo long.  I'm sure I'm not the only one tired of hearing his trivial banter, but I'm one of the few who will say something about it. 

Dude, we understand you aren't happy with the state of the current product.  We get it.  You've made it quite clear, but again, your continuous complaining hasn't helped in any way, shape, or form has it?  Don't you have something better to do for shit's sake?  For crying out loud man, get over it.  Your points are valid, I'm sure...but we've heard them.  Again.  And again.  And again.  Maybe you're the reason they are holding it back...

Is it here yet!?

Ooooh! My mac is an old PPC! But mac version will not be released without Intel version also being complete? Not even for a big box of cookies?

We all need to go to Detroit with folding chairs and sit in Stardock's parking lot, and around the building (especially in the handicapped parking spots) and not let anyone in or out until whichever item we all want is ready. And they have to serve us coffee.

Besides all what seems to be problems with things present or future to be done...

Myself; I have no problem actually with any product Stardock has made or is in the making of for the future. Sure I understand how it is being you want something better and believe you are right in asking for it. If you are truely that unhappy; then contact sales@stardock. com and ask for your refund. Not sure what all you will get. But they are nice people there and will work with you.

I support these people due to the fact they won't just release a software till it is completely finished. [Except in a beta form] Plus they do a hell of a good job at what they do. Sure others may think completely different from myself. But That is their idea or problems. I've been using Stardock software now going on for 6 years and I'd be in bad shape without it. I'll always be using it even when they stop making it. [Which I do not see that happening anytime soon!]

Thanks Neil for being there on a holiday! You are always working it would seem.

Oh and no matter what the studies say... I believe that to be wrong as if you actually look at what has really happened other than what some study has figured it be. You will see there is a big difference in things. [I'm really not interested in those sort of things.]

Doc making an isssue does nothing more than slow things down in the progress area. If you really want something you find a way to help work with these people to get the progress needed to complete the work itself. Not cause a big thing about it and then get whatever it is they give you.

I'd rather wait till 2011 if need be so as the developer can get things done in a good working order. Than have some halfway done program. Won't matter much to me anyway... it may not be what I realy want and I'll just use the program we have now. [via backup install with impulse]

So truly no matter what you think it is a really sad thing to think you are being ripped off... when actually no one is! You get what you pay for and if you feel you have not? Then ask for your money back and stop complaining. It will be a better world that way.
