Blacksmith is a virtual desktop/launcher/window manager full of awesomeness (operates like MacOSX Lion or Android).

Loved the concept -- unfortunately on my XP Pro SP3 system, results were less than stellar... (especially because shortcuts mostly behaved erratically) :(

EDIT: Plus, the additional desktop wallpapers were left over in the system after closing -- since they have no descriptive file names, this is mildly annoying... :roll:
