OTTAWA, Sept. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kivuto Solutions, the global leader in complex digital distribution solutions, is honoured to have won Best in Show (Website Features – Visual Appeal) at The 2015 W³ Awards for the interactive Microsoft tribute “Evolution of Windows“. Fellow honourees for Best in Show include Google, HBO, and Sony.

Celebrating the release of Windows 10, “Evolution of Windows”, featured by TheNextWeb, is a sleek, informative, and funny timeline that takes you from Windows 1.0 in 1985 to Windows 10 in 2015. Playing with your mouse animates each version of Windows in exciting ways, from launching a game to revealing the dreaded “blue screen of death”.

By winning Best in Show as well as Silver (Website Features – User Experience), Kivuto’s “Evolution of Windows” brings the company’s total W³ Awards tally to seven trophies.
