The PC of the future - The new desktop
Tuesday, April 14, 2020 by Frogboy | Discussion: Software Blog
This PC is using Windows 10. But not just Windows 10 on its own. It's been upgraded a bit with Object Desktop. That's what Object Desktop does. A lot of the things in Windows we see today first showed up in Object Desktop. A few examples include transparencies, shadows, gadgets, ZIP files as folders, GUI skinning, etc. There is a natural progression to the operating system.
On this screenshot I have Groupy, CursorFX, Fences, Start10 and a new app that hasn't been announced yet.
The PC of the future series is going to explore where we think the desktop is going. This PC has 64 CPU cores and 128 logical processors. It has 128 GB of memory and an extremely fast GPU. So what are we going to do with this hardware? That’s what this series will explore.
Edit: Additional screenshots below.

I don't use WB on my primary machine [it's on all the others] because FSX spits a dummy and changes colour depth....so if you have FSX running, even minimized WB doesn't happen...
Besides....this is 7 ....the 'prettiest' OS Microsoft managed to do....out of the box...

Well I already have my desktop of the future .... starting with my Threadripper 2920X and the CoolerMaster Cosmos II, which now houses it due to having better airflow than its previous home, also a CoolerMaster case but not with as many features. However, I will be relocating my AMD Ryxen 1700X to that case as it doesn't generate as much heat as the Threadripper.
Of course, no PC is complete without Stardock's ObjectDesktop and its accompanying apps..... and I mustn't forget Winstep Xtreme, either, given its usefulness and the great themes that enhance so many Windowblinds skins.

You said "no browsers support it", I just picked one. I could have said Firefox or any other obsolete browser.

I use Chrome, don't care if it doesn't get skinned.
