Stardock's CEO Brad Wardell talks to Neowin about our 20th Anniversary and a new product coming called Launch8!

Can you give us a general idea of what Launch8 is about?

Basically it's a quick launch bar for Metro. It's a launch bar at the bottom of the Start screen that stays there when the user scrolls through the the tiles.

Head over to Neowin for the full interview!  More info about Launch8 will be coming soon.
