   Review - Stardock DeskScapes

   1.0 (Mar 4, 2007)

   If you don't have Vista Ultimate & you can't run this prog, then why review it? Geeezz. It does not hog resources or slow your sys down. It uses your video card to render dynamic content & animation on your desktop for the new .dream format in Ultimate. Vista Ultimate people...& we know who we are, we would of paid for it anyway...this is just a great big bonus in Desktop Custimization. With Vista ReadyBoost my laptop with 2g Ram + my 2g Cruzer Titanium gives me 4 Gigs. It's Vista....it was built for this. Please know the facts before you open your mouth. Excellent Program.

   I want to know just what kind of PC all you are running when you say it takes resources? And what OS? On the rig I am on now I am running XP MC 05 w/2 Gigs of Ram but even on my kid brothers pc w/1 Gig of Ram and the Nvidia FX 5200 w/128Ram WB runs awesome. I have 2 6800 Ultra's on this MC. On my 2004 MC I only have 1 Nvidia FX 5200 w/256Ram and 2 Gigs of Ram and I have no problem even when I have 20 windows open lol. I just don't get why everyone says it's a resource hog. I've used it for years on several machines configured several ways and I don't have this problem.

   If you use Stardock Central's Skins & Themes section you can look @ the newest additions, updated skins, top downloads, Featured Skins, or recent skins. And thats not all: each library is broken down into sections to make it easier to find what you want. WB has 24 sections including: Computers, Movies, Specialty & GUi championship 2004 just to name a few. You can also use the WC Browser to do the same thing. I understand if this is not for you but I really enjoy discovering an IconPackage that goes with a WB perfect & adding a matching Logon & BootSkin. Then adding a ObjectDock Plus Dock that is to die for...along with certain widgets etc. And then making them my own by coloring them and saving them as a Suite in Theme Manager so I can apply that Suite any time I like. And if you have lots of Quick Launch icons you sound like you'd love RightClick, ObjectBar, or Tab LaunchPad. Just a thought :)

   You mean thousands right! LoL and there must be about 100 other sites that have themes that are not on WC. I feel sorry for someone who can't find a theme. And I feel obligated to tell those who don't know...instead of buying one Stardock product for $20, buy Object Desktop for $49.95 and get most of their products for that one price. Also the next year when you renew your OD you won't pay $49.95 you will pay $34.95. http://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/ Sorry I just love all of Stardock's products so much I can't help myself hehe ;)

   Stardock, the company who makes WB5 has been around for 11+ years and they are a Microsoft Gold certified partner. Microsoft has actually taken loads of Stardock technology to Vista. So if you do the research you should be thanking them. And if that upsets you I predict that when Vista is released and 100's of new Shell and Skinning apps pop up you won't be very happy. I have been a paying customer of Stardock's Object Desktop and a WinCustomize subscriber for years and honestly nobody does it better. My computer has looked better than Vista for years lol. And I can make my own BootSkins, Logon's, IconPackages, Cursors, etc. I have transparencies & animation. And DX Pro is great, I can make my own Gadgets and give them to all my friends & they don't even have to have DX on their computers. There are also free versions of all applications for everone to try. Also, it doesn't slow down your system it actually enhances game performance. There are several benchmarks from the leading gaming sites to back this up.

6. Comment - Blu-ray to Outline Launch Plans at CES

   Blu-Ray has nothing to do with DRM lol it's the next format for CDc & DVDs it's actually HD CD & DVD which will allow us to put 50Gigs to 60 Gigs on 1 disc instead of 4.7 and dual layer. It's really great and revalutionary. Remember when RW- & RW+ first came out and half of the big companies had one format and the other half had the other format? Well this is the same thing. Sony, Disney, & lots of other big companies have Blu-Ray and HP has the other format. If you guys want to have 100's of disks laying around vs a few that's your perogative, but personally I can't wait for these new discs. I have over 2Terabytes on my computer now and backing up will be so much easier. Also by the way, a few weeks ago Sony had to stop producing disks with their DRM spyware according to a new law. So you have nothing to worry about on that front anymore either. If you want to know more just Google it :)
