How to Transform Your Windows Desktop with an Amazing Windows Phone 7-Style HUD
Windows: Windows desktop customization tool Omnimo takes the look and feel of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 user interface and brings it to any Windows desktop in an attractive and functional form that's fresh, useful, and full of eye candy. (Click most of the images in this post for a closer look.)

The more operating systems we put on one computer, the more our data can get scattered around different partitions that we can't read or write from other OSes. With the right drivers and a bit of organization, though, you can keep all your data in one central location, and read and write that data from any OS under the sun.
