Object Desktop Launchpad

What good is a desktop suite without a unique platform that connects it all together? Sure, Microsoft Office is an exception - but it’s so well known that its products are referred to constantly in the business world and retail for huge prices. With Object Desktop 2008 Ultimate, I was hoping for something that would tie it all together. Did I get my wish with Object Desktop Launchpad?

Kind of. Its menus are not customizable, so it serves a different function in comparison to Keyboard Launchpad. I feel as though it’s the first place any new/first-time user should go to discover the categories that each piece of software lies in - practically every piece of major software that comes with Object Desktop 2008 is covered (the Launchpads and Impulse don’t count).

Object Desktop Launchpad actually only takes very few system resources. 0.6MB - but again, it’s just Launchpad. Does it look good? Not particularly - although its looks are very customizable though, having a dedicated preferences menu.

I’ve grown to think that Object Desktop Launchpad is a bit…redundant. I feel as though Impulse is already good enough as a Launchpad for Object Desktop software - however, if you’re a new user of Object Desktop, this would be pretty useful for you to comb over.
