Put a cork in it.
LS is a shell, ObjectBar and NextStart are not.
I think you're confusing this board with Neowin.

Wizop Hippy - Frogboy already yelled at me. I do not need to yelled at twice.

I dislike NextStart because i think all themes look like the same and you have more possibility with objectbar . The only bad thing i can say about objectbar is there aren't an update :/ ... when can you see the v2.0 ?

Actually, have you ever played with NextStart? It has *many* more possibilities than object bar. A menu on a click, hotspots to launch menus/applications, the now ubiquitous bar. Not to take anything away from objectbar. It is very good for what it does... being a bar. One last thing- NextStart plays very well with the OS. At times OB doesn't, especially if you're using it on a tablet PC. The themes... well, that's just a personal opinion IMO. If there is a theme you want, you can always create it for NextStart...

werewolf's the only one thus far who does what I do - WorkShelf is great for having all of one's apps instantly and easily at fingertip, as well as remaining hidden until you require it with only a mouse bump... I'm rather curious about ObjectBar 2, though; any more hints about it?

I don't understand what "the themes all look alike" means. If you mean that when you apply a Nextstart/Workshelf theme, you still have the same menu content, well that's a good thing.

One of the great things about NextStart and Workshelf is that the theme is separated from configuration and content. Unlike some other apps where if you switch to a new theme, you have to spend time redoing your preferred customization to that theme. With Nextstart and Workshelf, you apply a new theme, and you're off and running with your previous setup.

I use Nextstart and Workshelf in a diffrent fashion than Werewolf. I have many Nextstart menus for the various application and utitlies I used, each organized into approparite sub menus.

I use Workshelf as a mechanism to get at the various folders of the computer: a shelves for the desktop, control panel, my documents and so on. I also have a Workshelf shelves for various projects: a shelf that holds shortcuts to a project's files, folders, an application link to the program I use for that project, and some internet shortcuts to online documentation that I reference for that particular project.
