Yes, we are working on integrating the browser into SDC. SDC is going to be a super-program that has everything Stardock in it. The browser function just makes sense to be in it. That way, you can flip between downloading and browsing and whatever else you need to do to keep up to date. I think it will be really cool when it's done, and will cut down on the programs that you need to keep track of.
I'm already hooked on using SDC to run all my programs. So, I'm pretty happy about the idea of having the browser built in so that I can launch everything from one location!
Let me clarify: the standalone browser is not going away and WC subscribers can continue to use that. But, it's hard to dislike it being available through SDC to registered users as well.
There's also a new tray component coming next week for WC subscribers. It'll notify you as to new updates, new skins, and more. If you've got SDC or the WC Browser installer, it works in conjunction with them as well.
Honestly though, I'm thrilled to have this directly in SDC. It's far more convenient as I often have that running.
Yep, that is the plan.&nb; SD Central will become the Central location for everything Stardock. It just takes awhile to get everything integrated into it. It's all "planned", though, just like the universal use of the Stardock.net account for logging into sites and SD Central (as well as additonal goodies that are planned but not announced yet). It will just keep getting better
