Perhaps one of the aspects of this thread would be to look beyond the
metaphor for the desktop and more into the metaphor as one that extends
the workspace area (without calling it a desktop) into the space and
context of personal computing and social collaboration.
Apple might have got it wrong to use iTunes and iPod to push their
desktops (I don't know since I don't have the stats) but using
non-desktop metaphors to a GNOME platform might not be utopian as on date.
