It can be used to augment desktop surface with an incredible variety of tools, shortcuts, and datapoints, including things such as Windows commands, RSS news feeds, reminders, pictures, folder and file listings, notes, system monitoring datapoints, picture slideshows, advanced containers, and much more.
