If what I've read is correct, then their solution is a change to the impulse client to allow downloading patches for offline installation. It's a step further in improving the situation, but it still doesn't help me! As I said, my net box is running linux, not windows. Unless they release a linux client for impulse I'm still out of luck.
They are simply not considering the possible situations their customers may be in, and how the system will affect them. Here's some free information for Stardock: Not everyone in the world has/wants their windows PC networked, and when they have a network connection available on another machine, it's not necessarily running windows, and/or there may be (e.g. work related) restrictions about installing a program such as impulse!
Having a downloadable patch available is fine for the majority of the software vendors in the world, why isn't it an option from Stardock as well?!?
