It had many big improvements. Not having long repeating corridors with one room looking exactly the same as all the others for one thing.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

My minimal desktop, I haven't bothered to have a wallpaper because I hardly ever view the desktop. Instead I have quicklaunch-type access to C: drive and Games folder.

 :wtf:


Right-click Desktop -> Arrange desktop icons -> Uncheck "Show desktop icons"

There's your icon-free desktop on Windows. I personally have added an actually usable submenu grouping thing to my Start menu (visible in my image) which IMHO works far better than the desktop icons. In addition to this I can start the programs I use most often through the Windows -> Start interface, or command line. It is faster for me to press Win+R and type the name of the program than to minimize open windows, then find the icon on the desktop and double click it.

On the other hand, it's possible not to use Windows at all...

It is perfectly possible to hide desktop recycle bin icon on all Windows versions since 95.

Or you could make it use invisible icon and use invisible characters as their names...

Now that I think of it, making a bunch of link shortcuts, placing them on the desktop, and hiding them like this could be a major source of lulz. :drevil:
