10 Years of Stardock!

Published on October 3, 2003 By Stardock Central In WinCustomize News

This month marks the 10 year anniversary from when Stardock was incorporated. Back in 1993, college student Brad Wardell, looking for a way to pay for school, founded the company.

In an article that looks back over the 10 year history of Stardock, Wardell talks about the highs and lows in a year by year round up.

thanks so much for making windows customisation a household word! And props for the whole idea! I never liked the boring "normal" windows look!!!!

Cheers!

Wow, what a ride Brad, I wonder how the gray hair count is doing?

Or are you too scared to start?

Then again your boys are probably partly responsible too. I know in my case our 4 children certainly are.

Happy Birthday!

I remember the first versions of WB 0.9X and then 1.X... I was living in Brazil and I brought it... was a little expensive for me at the time because I wasn't get paid in dollars

(by the way... if you guys can find my serial number...

)
Then after Wb 2 I wasn't using it anymore... just the shareware version. This year I got the OD subscription. I was happy until I discovered the VS... now I keep switching betwin the two. If windowblinds could import the VS that would be great!
Right now I only use iconpackager and nothing else...

It's not that I don't like SD products, it's that sometimes there are too many features that I will not use so I use altenative versions (YzShadow vs WindowFX). If you guys create something like WindowFX-lite with shadows only and taskbar shadows that would be really nice!

I'm not against SD, the point is that there is too much options when I'm looking for simple stuff but next year I'll renew my OD subscription

Peace!

Sort of remends me of my situation... trying to figure out a way to pay for grad school cause the job market is still recovering over here in NYC.

Came up with a few ideas and reading this story makes me wonder about what could happen.
