# More About Desktops

By Roy Osherove June 17, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 17, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

We're starting to get some real content into the [desktops gallery](http://pnavy.com/royo/desktops). If you'd like to add your own desktop, see the [guide](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/story/8523.aspx).

I really like how it's turning out. Looking at all these really gives you a feel for the different types of people (or, not so different..?) that hang out here. Meanwhile, the coolest desktop IMHO is [Rob's](http://pnavy.com/royo/desktops/RobCartier).

What I think is needed, though, is some kind of small prize for the "coolest" winner which will be decided by the end of the month(provided we have a prize by then).  Since I can't really afford anything, maybe some of our [pals](http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2003/06/16.html#a3389) at MSFT would like to donate a poster,T-Shirt or anything else that would fit the occasion?  I'm open to suggestions.
