Thanks, preloading is a big one.  Now you guys just need to get more AAA titles that people will want to pre-order.

When will you add preload prediction, so I can download games I haven't bought yet but you know I will?

Hah, good one!

As for the topic, yay StarDock. /fanboymodeoff

How many years before that actually happens? or better yet your computer playing on the stock market with loose change, (or your savings) and saving up to buy you a game it thinks you'll like? I can see preload prediction working: If you've got a TB free it'll download every game on your 'games you may also like' list when the network's quiet. Then give you subtle reminders that you haven't bought the game yet but should. Things like:
Computer: "did you know: With your computer you could play *insert game* on maximum settings? Don't believe me? demo's downloaded... try it"
Computer: "well... I say demo... I bought the game for you... but if you don't like it I can deactivate it... I downloaded a few others too, but I haven't activated them yet"

I suppose without any fiddly software you could manually set it. When you are about to leave your computer for a while click an "idle-automate" or "away-automate" button in impulse and let it do stuff for you. I wouldn't want it to be automatic as I sometimes use mobile internet connections and there's a useage limit.
To be honest it's not a problem with a high speed connection but if your connection is slow or the demo is in GBs, like demigod or higher, then I wouldn't mind the computer automatically downloading a new demo that's been uploaded to impulse. When it's best for the server, not the moment it's uploaded. I think that's the main thing.

Automatic downloading of demos!  The next huge waste of bandwidth, brought to you by strange people
