Stardock Introduces Tiles 1.0 - A New Free Navigation Utility for Windows

JANUARY 25 - PLYMOUTH, MI. - Stardock (www.stardock.com) introduced a new navigation utility for Windows today, altering the way users interact with their PC desktop. The new Tiles 1.0 is designed to assist today's increasingly savvy PC owners looking to more effectively organize their active programs, applications and documents. Tiles is available as a free download with additional features available for purchase, as well as a full version at $9.95 for instant access to all of the features (www.stardock.com/products/tiles/), or as part of Stardock's award-winning full suite of desktop utilities, Object Desktop (www.objectdesktop.com).

Tiles works by creating a side-bar on a user's display. At the top of the side-bar are labels for each page such as 'My Tiles' or 'Documents' or 'Apps'. Users can then drag and drop programs, documents, or website URLs onto Tiles. When the program is inactive, it appears as an icon. When it is active, it appears as a live preview tile.

Tiles is free to use but also comes with enhanced features for purchase. Those features include support for custom pages, taskbar options, and additional customization.

"The majority of PC users today are multitasking between tasks, some with multiple monitors" said Brad Wardell, president and CEO of Stardock. "Tiles main functionality doesn't replace familiar UI's (like the Start menu) but rather helps users focus on what is important to them at a particular time. Much like where Fences helped users keep their desktop clean of icon clutter, Tiles helps keep their desktop clean of task and application clutter."
