I for one really appreciate this post and the ongoing "Featured Desktop" postings. Not all of them are my cup of tea of course, but it is nice to see what can be done with some of these desktop customization tools, and even if I don't care for an overall desktop I often get "ideas" from them.

You run it and you get Enigma or any other skin you download or create (and you WILL be creating your own cool desktops, it's easy) on your existing desktop.

Can we change the boilerplate paragraph to refer to Rainmeter 1.1 at [Rainmeter.net?] #desktops
Agree completely in most respects. I do run a real time antivirus however, as I think it is not only a free, low impact way to be a bit safer, but IS BEING A GOOD NET CITIZEN. It is the fault of the many who take advice like this that let viruses run rampant on the internet.
The question for me wasn't so much "What about Win7 would make me move from XP?" as "What about XP would make me stay there?"
