WindowBlinds 4 Reviewed in USA Today!
Tuesday, August 26, 2003 by Stardock Central | Discussion: WinCustomize News
WindowBlinds 4 got a 5 star out of 5 star review in today's USA Today newspaper. The review compares WindowBlinds 3 and WindowBlinds 4:"Stardock Software's WindowBlinds 3, a nifty Windows-skinner that allowed you to customize the Windows operating system graphical interface, was good, but it was far from perfect. Not every skin worked correctly and the WindowsBlinds 3 could leave your PC and some applications less than stable, forcing some users to remove it after the novelty wore off and headaches began.
WindowsBlinds is back with version 4, and it's a five-star product that you won't want to uninstall anytime soon."
It's one of the most thorough reviews we've seen. Check it out: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/techreviews/products/2003-08-26-windows-blinds_x.htm

Tip of the Iceberg,I think,StarDock and WindowsBlinds gonna be huge,Way ahead of the times but when everyone finally catches up-You're already established.Everyone wants rid of the Fisher-Price MS theming,I think.Great news iz any news,they say in the Biz Mosh Pit.

That's great that USA Today picked it up! It's good to see that Dokt isn't the only one reviewing Stardocks products in print.

Dokt is certainly not the only one, we're in print quite a bit.

Darn the rest of the world is so farrr behind the majority of us..Every time I open up my laptop in a public place I end up getting swarmed by people who are like..DUDE what OS is that..Is that a Mac???Why does your OS look so nifty???When I saw I use WindowBlinds their like UmmDuhhh What that?????Even after I explain it they still cant comprehend and want me to give them all the software for free...So I really hope this article will move more traffic to your site..And Hopefully paying customers....All you guys really need now is more people using your bandwidth for free DLs...Which is killing you guys on site cost...

Kudos & congrats to SDC/Brad & all the crew that creates these ingenious apps! Totally agree with Drop125 - I just can't believe the # of people who have owned computers for eons & don't know ANYTHING about skinning...or have even heard about it! ROCK-ON StarDock!

I was just going to also add that the uproar I cause when I do use my laptop at like a Wirless cafe..All the techno geeks around me interupt me to the point of frustration..Im always so shocked that even the swiftest geeks still are in the dark about Stardock 
Dont understand whynot...This stuff actually makes even work fun...Im only alawed to use just windowblinds at work cuz all the other apps scare the crap out of or IT guys..For some reason all they start screaming is VIRUS YOUR GoNNA GIVE US A VIRUS...They have little faith in working wioth an app that doesnt have to do with accounting...

Not to put a downer on this news story but do you think that the reason why WB 4 works so well is because it is made for Win 2000 and XP?
I was one who wished it worked on all Windows OS's but now I think Windowblinds is better off just sticking to WIN XP and 2000 and leaving 3.51 to the rest of us. This way Windowblinds can take more advatige develoment wise of XP and 2000. (The only problem is that most people still have win 98 but at least it is still skinnable with WB 3.51)

Windowblinds and Xp (LongHorn) customization will be big. And if i say so, it will be so. (
