PC World Takes a Look at Fences

Published on October 14, 2009 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

The folks over at the PC World blogs grabbed a copy of Fences from Stardock, and gave it a run through on their desktop. The quote below sums up everything pretty well.

“It wasn't five minutes after installing this program that I realized I'll be using it for the rest of my computing life. It's that good.”

Business Hacks on Bnet.com, also has a quick video demo showing Fences in action.

Agreed!

It's indeed very useful. However, I'd like it to be more configurable, especially the appearance. Also I had some trouble with applications or scripts that were executed from the Desktop. For example Stardock has a script to gather some information about your PC, for debugging issues with Demigod for example. The script creates a file with the gathered information. However, when run from the Desktop with fences installed, no file was ever created.

That video doesn't say absolutly nothing. With that it seems that fences doesn't do a thing, 1.50 min was too much time compared to the things to say.

A good things would be to see what a purchased version has more than the free one.
