True. Dynamic desktops are fun. If you're not convinced, then just look how
dull and static a Vista desktop can be...

I find that even virtual desktop (or tty) switching in Linux adds a lot of
dynamicity... wallpapers change (in KDE at least), applications show up and
disappear, various animations, auto-hiding panels all over the place,
dynamic pager, etc.
Linux is vibrant. In development; in use.
Best wishes,
