That's no DOS window.

I can't see why people would have so many icons on their desktop when you can hide them perfectly in a sidebar.

Put an end to popups!

When I slide my mouse to the top of my screen, my sidebar opens and I have access to hundreds of icons...

icons on the desktop are disturbing and ugly.

my background image is nice.

I haven't met anyone yet, who would have liked my desktop.
But hey, works for me

My X-desktop on my unix machines seems to be even more hated. It actually drives people crazy. People can't seem to grasp the context of windows without side or bottom borders with black background on black desktop background.

Hm. I can't find an equivalent for <pre></pre> in vB code and using the HTML tags doesn't seem to work, so I'll just post a link to a "screenshot" of what my terminal currently looks like... Colours and fonts aren't copied over, but at least you'll get the general idea: http://www.lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~lighten/desktop.html

Must be fun to watch a satire of your own culture, also for listeningto accents. But then, I found it harder to understand Dr Strangelove when I watched the same movie than to understand the Russian ambassador

Nope, for some reason when I first looked at your post I got the error image icon - it was a poor attempt at humour on my part that backfired...

Overloaded is as overloaded does...
