When will we see the light... I mean with ObjectDock 2?
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 by Smaky | Discussion: ObjectDock
It's been more than a year since I acquired ObjectDock plus (followed by a Object Desktop Ultimate & Wincustomize subscription a few months later)... I have seen great updates for many ObjectDesktop apss to come in the last few months, even a great new freebie as Fences.... but saddly enough Object Dock... which is what I really love (I even jump into development again)... has been a very different story.
Months has come by... and no single update to ObjectDock has seen the light, not a beta, no nothing. I have been reading the forums regularly on updates to upcoming releases but there is nothing clear at all. Will ObjectDock will ever be updated? Will version 2.0 really come to us? Who knows...
It would be great if anyone from Stardock would tell us the real story... In the mean time, I'll keep waiting.

Stardock almost always gives access to betas without having to preorder the beta itself. Just preorder the 2.0 and you will more than likely have access to the betas. I won't order until the betas are available, that's for sure. But it will be worth it.

I preordered version 2 and don't have access to the beta just an email with the order number, date and charge!?

I haven't had the opportunity to place my order yet, but I strongly suspect this is because the beta is not yet available.

You're the one who's whining. If you're sick of seeing these posts, don't look. It doesn't give you the right to censor others, especially paying customers. Some of us don't live on the forums.
No one's "censoring" anyone....I don't have access to those buttons "censuring" might come closer...but I am simply saying enough of the repetitive, whining posts.
If someone else has said substantially the same thing, spare us!

Ok...so will current users of OD+ get access to the beta without having to pre-order? How will that work with getting the new version?
Can someone official please answer this question ? I like to use Paypal and I will pay for the beta and the 2.x builds afterwards, but only when it is there, I won't pay for a non-existent product.
Only people who order OD+ 2.0 will get early access.
You are correct.

Yea but I bet SD has taken the money and is using it.

Sorry, but history taught us that things are not taken care of, if only some people complain about it. If You want to go on living in Your own rose-red world and not want to be 'afflicted' by 'whining' people wording their discontend with the manner some things are handled at Stardock, simply keep away from the thread, simple as that.
Stardock lives good from beta testing customers wording their problems with their software (which is IMHO no bad thing at all, don't get me wrong there) and for that I think they have all rights to word criticism also.

Stardock does not charge your credit card for the pre-order until it becomes availible for download.

Yep...OD2+ is roughly on the order of an event like The American or French Revolution. Those folks had significant complaints. You are whining about not getting your toy exactly how and when you want it...oh yeah, it has to be perfect and have everything you want in it and preferably free.
You note the difference in scale? When are you organizing the million man march on Stardock?

You are totally missing my point (not to speak of You didn't read what I wrote fully), but so be it. You just can't deny people to express their opinion, if it fits Yours or not. And I personally am all fed of people called 'whiners' too soon here when they are expressing constructive criticism. MAYBE some people don't do that to bash Stardock but to actually show how they care ? If that is not desired anymore here, where have we come to ? All praising, no criticism allowed ?
Reply #74 Sunday, February 21, 2010 6:17 AM
criticism is allowed as long as you are directing it at the person who dared to moan in the first place.

I still don't get what is wrong with people. You are pre-ordering software, not paying to use a beta. If you don't want to pre-order, then wait for the full release. What could be simpler.
But then it's rather pointless telling people to use some brains where none exist...

Ok I'm not one to want to create problems, and I am aware there was some wiggle room in the above statement on the release of a beta, however, I do expect a statement from someone on the current status of the release of the beta as a courtesy for our orders. It's certainly not available in the 'anticipated' 3 weeks (only reason I laid down my money was on expectation of release around 3 weeks). So, when's an expected release date now? I enjoy this program and thank all those contributing towards it, I just want to know when I can expect to take delivery (and expect final payment to be charged!)
