This week we reached a very important milestone: over 1 million downloads of TopDesk and DeskSpace! We’d like to thank all our users for their tremendous support over the years, and for helping us make the best desktop productivity software we can.
We’ve got some great plans for the future of DeskSpace and TopDesk, so stay tuned. See you at 2 million downloads!
Development of DeskSpace 1.5.5 and TopDesk 1.6 is coming along very nicely.
DeskSpace 1.5.5 will be released in around 2 weeks, and will focus on improving the way windows are managed and manipulated on the virtual desktops. Desktop switching performance will be drastically improved, as will application compatibility.
TopDesk 1.6 will be released in 2-3 months, and will include new layout modes, including a CoverFlow-like mode, and a revamped user input manager that will allow you to use multiple layouts (e.g. Flip and Spatial) at the same time.
Unfortunately it looks like something has gone wrong at one of our competitors, CubeDesktop. We’re not exactly sure what’s happened, but it appears they stopped supporting their product on April 14th, and are no longer responding to their customers.
We’re very sad to see customers lose out like this, so we’d like to reach out to all CubeDesktop customers and offer them a way out of this unhappy situation. We realize that those customers have their reasons for choosing our competitor over DeskSpace, but we’d like to have the opportunity to work with them and our current customers to make DeskSpace the best it can be.
As such, Otaku Software would like to offer all CubeDesktop customers a free license of DeskSpace. The license will be valid for all DeskSpace releases up to, but not including, version 2.0, and the offer is valid until 16th July 2008. You can claim your free license by contacting Customer Support with your CubeDesktop order details.
We would also like to offer all CubeDesktop customers a 50% discount on the DeskSpace+TopDesk bundle (essentially giving you DeskSpace for free). To claim this discount, please contact Customer Support with your CubeDesktop order details.
