Personal Computers are unique amongst products in that they are a one size fits all solution. Cars, Refrigerators, Phones, even toasters, all come in different shapes, sizes, and interfaces that tailor to a specific segment of the market - but not Personal Computers. Every machine looks the same. They almost all have a gazillion icons on the left side, a Start menu with a ton of junk in it that they don t use, and work with their applications and data in the same way regardless of how different that might be from the user s preference. When the pieces of Object Desktop are put together, that all changes.
Users can do whatever they want with their computers.
An IT manager at a Fortune 500 company can use Object Desktop components to create desktops that have just the features that are important to him displayed cutting down training and support costs. A steel plant can use pieces of Object Desktop to create an interface that monitors the status of the blast furnace and hide other features of Windows to create a unique operating system for them. And consumers can use Object Desktop to make Windows easier to use, prettier, or just cooler. This screenshot was created by a user. Components are then retrieved from one of the Stardock.net servers and stored locally.
