Original OSNews Interviews I met Brad Wardell, Stardock's CEO, two weeks ago in San Fransisco. Stardock are mostly known for creating WindowBlinds. But Stardock has a long history, going back to the OS/2 days, releasing not only the most 'successful' OS/2 application ever, Object Desktop, but also a number of games. Today Stardock still releases games and UI enhancement tools for Windows, but the main focus is still Object Desktop. Read more for our interview with Brad, his views on theming, the future of UIs and more.

what!!! you think that a pile of programs catagorized in a list that fills up your screen is more efficient? I feel that it is in my way.

apple has spent years on UI design, and they are said to have the best minds in UI development working for them.

OS X stays out of your way and is there to assist you. it provides the tools you need at your fingertips sort of like an assistent handing the tool to you as you work.

Windows is more like the tool box. it stors the tool spretty well, but you have to rummage through it to find what you need.
