You may have noticed that there's been a lot of updates lately on Stardock Central. The reason for this is we are preparing for Stardock Central version 2. Version 2 has a much more robust back end than what we've previously had.

Stardock Central is the program that connects to Stardock.net which hosts Object Desktop and its suite of programs, WinCustomize.com, and Drengin.net and its suite of games. It is a way of streaming software and other content to you in a easy and reliable way.

The goal is to eliminate the little annoyances that users occasionaly run into where file sizes don't match or downloads get aborted and that sort of thing. We are also working to make it so that the first time you download a component it is a single compressed file rather than a bunch of little files which will help with download speeds.

Probably the most noticeable difference though is the propsed new interface. A lot of new users get confused by the current Stardock Central interface. The other drawback is that it is hard for us to keep expanding what Stardock Central does without the whole interface looking like a complicated thing.

The new interface is much cleaner and simpler to use. We hope to have Stardock Central 2 done in the next couple of months.
