anyways I have recently discovered Rainmeter. And well. WOW. It lets u make your desktop completely different.. your desktop actually becomes more resourceful and useful the way it should be.
Rainmeter is a small software application you can download here, and while being extremely light on resources.. not like u MR pretty Vista.. is extremely usable and, completely customizable.
" Rainmeter is a Windows customization application. Empower your desktop with an expandable library of useful tools - handy notes and application launchers, weather and feeds from the web, system status and more. Then, rearrange and modify them to suit your personal style. With Rainmeter, your desktop is finally yours. "
Which initally using it, is daunting and i guess a little tricky.. its user face isn't layed out with a easy settings page that sets it all up, its all bout moving, and selecting the right parameters, and entering them into the text. For those who want it simple however, there is plenty of themes/skins for rain meter out there on sites like:

So far I'm starting out using Omnimo UI 1.01
Here is my desktop atm :
