'''Serious Samurize''' (or simply '''Samurize''') is a [[freeware]] [[system monitoring]] and desktop enhancement engine for [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/234056/samurize.html|title=Samurize|last=Larkin|first=Erik|work=[[PC World]]|date=2008-10-28|accessdate=2014-06-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1096699,00.asp|title=Samurize 0.85|last=Muchmore|first=Michael|work=[[PC Magazine]]|accessdate=2014-06-01}}</ref>

The core of Samurize is the desktop client that displays PC statistics (similar to a widget or gadget) anywhere on the screen. There is also a [[taskbar]] client, a clock client, a server, and a screensaver.  The client's main purpose is to display information about the computer, such as [[CPU usage]], available [[read-only memory|RAM]]/[[hard disk|HD]] space, network conditions, uptime, etc.. It can also be extended by using [[VBScript]], [[JScript]], [[Perl]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] [[Scripting language|scripts]] and [[Microsoft Dynamic Link Library|DLL]] [[Plug-in (computing)|plugins]], which provide virtually unlimited possibilities. There are scripts and plugins which can get weather reports, news headlines, music controllers, etc..

Samurize includes a [[WYSIWYG]] config editor used to create the configs. A "config" consists of a collection of "meters", and is saved into an [[INI file]] in the "configs" folder of the Samurize installation path. "Configs" can be packed to be shared with other users by using an included tool.
