DesktopX is a revolutionary program that allows users to extend their Windows desktop to support true objects.
These objects can be combined together to form themes or used on their own. In short, a user can literally build their own desktop interface and they can do so without being a programmer.
In addition, a user can choose to just use individual DesktopX objects to enhance their existing desktop. DesktopX objects can be anything from a simple picture to an MP3 player, stock tickers, weather monitoring, instant messaging, or anything else that one could imagine having on their desktop.
Users can either create their own objects or download any of the thousands of themes and objects already available and use them.

Also(to make a comment of my own) I think that SimCity 4 is slow. Even on my relatively new AthlonXP 3000/1GB mem/GFX5600 thing it is not exactly blazing.
Expect 5 minute loading times
Its not that bad on my new PC though. Plus, you guys have got to remember that each individual thing is rendered and calculated. The more you have of them, the more calculations that need to be done: SLOWER!!
Some patches have made it better...but over all thumbs down.
i saw Lemonade Tycoon the other day...i mean...come on :p how gay?
they should release a Tycoon Games Tycoon and have done with it :p
i dont mind expansions they are actually beneficial, but i hate sell outs !
