They did do away with the desktop sort of.   Now you open up openoffice and 
a Word like application comes up but when you click FILE then NEW you have 
your choice of all the different file types.  So if you choose Spreadsheet 
for example,  then an excel like spreadsheet pops up in the space.  I think 
it is actually better than the separate applications idea and think it is 
one up on Windoze.  Jeff

I haven't really looked at OpenOffice yet.  Did they make it so you can 
open just the word processor or just the spreadsheet or does it still have 
it's own desktop thingy like StarOffice?  That is my main complaint about 
StarOffice, you have to open their whole damn desktop thing and it takes 
way too many resources.
