Special effort was made to bring to increase integration and consistency between the programs that make up Object Desktop specifically for the Object Desktop 2004 release.

Actually, if you take into account the memory savings from switching to WB from MSStyles, the whole suite installed doesn't actually take up all that much memory. In fact, it takes up less that MSStyles alone

Not every skin for WB looks like those and not everyone wants a minimalistic theme.

You can use Object Desktop to create the most minimalistic desktop around -- use keyboard Launchpad to make the entire GUI driven purely by keyboard. Ditch the start bar and have just a configurable right-click menu.

Object Desktop is a tool - what you do with it is up to you. Just minimalistic desktops don't make good screenshots.
