"What is Desktop Project?
Desktop Project is the world's biggest desktop archive!

Why Desktop Project?
Because a desktop is an interesting thing. It represents people's own way to organize logical space, manipulate personal objects and contacts, plan activities. If you could know someone by watching his house, it would be the same by watching his desktop. A desktop is a personality mirror. It goes with the psychological, economical, social condition of its user. It could show some aspects of his private life, but in general it will show one's style, likings, desires, stereothypes, miths. Desktops from different parts of the world exemplify the path of contemporary globalization and standardization (Britney Spears on a Pakistani guy's desktop), or in some cases, forms of opposition to it, regionalisms (soccer teams, pictures of friends, ecc). Desktoproject is both an informatic and sociological experiment."
