Even if my real desktop looked messed up and dirty my screen desktop had to be neat, futuristic and tidy. I just minimized all the open windows to get shocked with my forgotten desktop. Icons are overtaking the whole screen, post-its all around, can’t see my wallpaper anymore.
It starts with, one thing
Windows 95 was damn ugly for me, I remember using Kobe Bryant’s wallpaper to hide the mess. Come Win98 I learnt about MicroAngelo my icons were all cool guys then, with Active desktop I was on top of desktop love, having an updated one page of CNN.com always on top of my desktop. Win2K, oh my it was smoother, I could finally install Litestep and get it work like a charm. My screen looked like a million bucks. WinXP was a little charmer, not after I got me a Mac it was forced to lower hand. Still got me a neat litestep shell to compete and now it’s forgotten.
Post-its are evil
Ever had those people around competing with you over a girl? Girls competing with your girl over you? 3M post-its are of that kind. You start with a little note. Comes a huge to-do list. It then becomes your next article draft, Wassup? Cuz it floats!
Cool guy widgets
Even with 20″ wide screen, you got widgets? They suck. They eat RAM, they eat space, they float in windows. And come gadgets, Google Desktop , c’mon how many desktops?
With ditching my screen desktop I see that my desk-top is actually clean, I mean the one that holds my caffee cup.

I like Google Desktop because these reasons: it is small, it is fast, its integration with web based Google search. They really have some great ideas to make the life of people easier.
