I'm about to shell out cash within the next few weeksfor Object Desktop most likely, and I'm already a Drengin.net subscriber. A big portion of my decision to go ahead and buy Object Desktop is due to the fact that, hell, I just like the company and the way it does business and feel I should support it.
Then I got to thinking.... There are lots of "people" who the are characterized as "pirates" because they don't pay for their OS software, or for their games. What would happen, however, if the software providers of the OS and the Games treated their customers like Stardock does?
Isn't it kindof funny that there are people out there running a pirated OS, but paying for silly little tools to customize it? Is it maybe because with the tools, they feel they're getting a better value for their money somehow? Obviously the OS is more important - without it, the computer would be pretty useless.
What if StarDock got into the OS business? You could be pretty sure it would be an awesome OS.
I'd buy it - and that's saying a lot.
