There are many more people who will find out about this great program if it were offered in the computer retail stores. I think it would be a superb hit.

So, I guess this program is the internets best kept secret about releasing the beauty of ones computer. No wonder everyone who wants a beautiful computer buys a MAC. But, instead they could just buy a PC and Windowblinds.

If I recall, Windowblinds is actually available in certain stores in boxed format.
Think I remember Brad mentioning that a year or two back.

I think a good way of getting more folks exposed to WindowBlinds would be to get one of the major players like Microsoft or Symantec to package the freeware trial with their software, that way you can still use the current business model of offering the full version through the internet. I think I read somewhere that was the whole concept behind Stardock, whether it be their desktop customization software or their games software.

from what i understand, stardock has a good working relationship with some people at microsoft, and considering how exlusive the software is to windows i'm sure it would be very easy to partner up with them. i'd guess that there are some very good reasons why that hasn't been followed through with.

i've that about that myself, about how much more area they could hit by teaming up with something like Staples or Best Buy, but stardock would have to really go out on a limb.
