It's a company called StarDock and a program called DesktopX

It makes the entire desktop an object orientated layout that you can manipulate to no end. It also interfaces directly w/ the standard Desktop modules that are built in w/ Windows itself.

Just be careful, since your completely altering all of the desktop objects sometimes your desktop can be seriouly screwed up after a major change (such as the one above), if your not careful w/ it. You also need a pretty decent CPU and a good amount of RAM (especially w/ Windows 9x b/c those desktop's arn't object orientated to begin with. DesktopX must emulate it which is fairly CPU intensive).

Actually, that would first be the gnome look for those of you who don't venture to the light side of computing very often.
osx, xwindows, its all relative (at least mac got a clue... gates is still looking for one).
