Subject: OS2News: Object Desktop Being Preloaded by Leading European OEMs

Escom preloads Object Desktop!
Leading European OEMs standardize on Stardock's Object Desktop!


Canton, Michigan.  Stardock announced today that Escom, one of Europe's 
leading PC manufacturers has standardized on Object Desktop as their desktop 
of choice on their PC's equipped with IBM's OS/2 operating system.

Together with Vobis, who began preloading Object Desktop on their machines 
late last year, it means that most PC's purchased in Europe that have OS/2 
Warp on them also come with Object Desktop.

"We are very excited to see that Object Desktop is doing so well in Europe." 
said Brad Wardell, President, Stardock Systems, Inc.  "I believe we are well 
on our way to making Object Desktop the standard environment for both
corporate and end users of OS/2."

In fact, according to Indelible Blue, Object Desktop was their third best
selling OS/2 product for 1995 even though it wasn't released until October.

With its powerful features for advanced users coupled with its much desired 
ease-of-use enhancements for new OS/2 users, Object Desktop has something for 
every type of user.

PC manufacturers who preload OS/2 all over the world have begun approaching 
Stardock about the possibility of including Object Desktop with their systems.
  
"Clearly Object Desktop represents a significant competitive advantage over a 
plain OS/2 system or even a system pre-loaded with Windows95.  It brings
computing to a new level." said Oliver Franklin of Frankson Information
Management in Australia. "In Australia alone we have several PC companies
working with Stardock to preload Object Desktop."

During the beta phase last summer , OS/2's most famous supporter David Barnes 
commented "Object Desktop's going to be the first thing I put on my machines 
from now on." and it would appear that he is not alone.

Object Desktop lists for $99.95 but has a special introductory price of $89.95
from Stardock Systems.  You can obtain it from any software outlet that
carries 
OS/2 software.

Stardock Systems can be reached at 313/453-0328 or faxed at 313/453-1480. 
Stardock also has a new Compuserve forum that can be reached using the 
GO word STARDOCK. Stardock can be emailed at sdsang@ibm.net
