Stardock Object Desktop

I bought Stardock's mac-like dock (ObjectDock), but 2-3 months later they remotely deactivated it. They effectively walked into my home and STOLE one of my possessions. They think because they did it over the Internet that makes it legal.

No reason was given for deactivation, so I contacted them. I was told that my IP address didn't match my home address tied to my credit card so the sale was taken back. Since when has anyone got to match their IP address with their physical home address? And why this 2-3 months later?

Their software is malware, allowing Stardock access to your PC. Don't buy because you're NOT buying anything, just renting a product which they can take back AT ANY TIME ON ANY PRETEXT.

To rub salt into the wounds, after taking MY PROPERTY and refusing to apologize, they started spamming me with promotional e-mails to buy what they had taken from me.

+ Easy install

+ Easy to use

Is to use software, which has a tab on it of where you install all of the software, download and update. Then once the program is downloaded you don't even have to go to the start menu to access the software they put on a button when you click on the software and you can clickon run to start the application, which this made it really easy for me to access the different applications that comes with this. I only like using this software as it allows me to customize my computer to my own theme, so i don't have to stick with the rubbish windows theme, so far i've made my boot screen, login screen, and also my windows theme to my company's look and feel.

The object bar that comes with this is brilliant i have been able to make my own 2 taskbar's for where the programs, system tray, start button, etc show in my own way, and been able to make my own side bar, with the help of their gadgets i have been able to make my own windows vista look, as i can't be bothered to install vista on my computer as i currently dont like it. My computer looks much better with my own designs and makes it easier for me to place things where i would like them to be. As well as i'm already use to where i put every thing.

The login and theme creator on there software is really useful as it also supports Vista, for when i eventually go over to it, so i will still be able to have my own theme on my computer. When i first used the login and theme creator which is the skinstudio and logonstudio i thought it would take me a long time to create my themes but it did take me 2 whole weekends to complete it but that doesn't matter it was worth it anyway.

There are many good points and bad points to this software as i stated already, but i guess when you use it you would find it to be more good than bad. There are some improvements that i would like to see to these applications, but as there are over 20 or so applcations i can't really be bothered to actually explain all of them.
