Object Desktop 2007 released

Stardock has released Object Desktop 2007.

Object Desktop is a suite of desktop enhancement utilities that allow users to completely personalize their Windows experience. Programs that make up Object Desktop can change the look and feel of Windows, add new features to the OS, and increase productivity.

The programs that make up Object Desktop are very popular on their own such as WindowBlinds, IconPackager, DesktopX, Keyboard LaunchPad, WindowFX, and more. Object Desktop also comes with a host of gadgets that require no special run-time in order to use.

With Object Desktop 2007, Stardock has focused on taking advantage of improved video drivers that have enabled Stardock to make full use of hardware acceleration. As a result, many of the programs in Object Desktop can actually provide a net performance improvement (such as WindowBlinds 5 which runs noticeably faster than the default Windows GUI and can deliver Vista-like glass effects today).

Stardock is also working on a series of unannounced Windows Vista-related programs that are due out shortly after Windows Vista ships. Users of Object Desktop 2007 automatically get anything Stardock adds for an entire year after purchase.

Object Desktop is $49.95. Existing users can renew their access to ObjectDesktop.net to get new and updated programs for only $34.95.
