Samurai Works is Stardock's partner, serving Japanese market. They have just informed us that Vector, the most popular and prestigious download site in Japan, has named WindowBlinds the Best Amusement product in 2004 - Winter.

Quoting from the translated version of the article:
"Under revolutionary concept "customizing desktop", the product has become very popular and gained 8 million customers all over the world. Everybody loves its easiness to decorate desktop with hundreds of skins. The product received overwhelming number of votes for this award."

Samurai Works provides a Japanese localized version of WindowBlinds and plans to add localized versions of Object Dock, SkinStudio and DesktopX in the near future. Please feel free to visit their Japanese version of WinCustomize at https://www.wincustomize.jp/

That's great news to hear

And like PixelPirate says, let's hope that the popularity in Japan brings the rise of some new talented designers as skinners
