Whose Desktop Would You Most Like To See?

An anonymous reader writes "Have you ever been curious about what someone else's computing environment looks like? Would you like to see what tools and products someone like Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates, George Bush, or Steve Jobs uses on a daily basis? What percentage of time is spent browsing the web, working in spreadsheets, programming, debugging, designing, or writing documents? How many monitors or devices do they have attached to their PC? What kind of security or anonymizers do they have in place?" For good or ill, open source developers' desktops at least are often visible in screenshots of their pet projects.

    "They have lots of people doing "stuff" for them."

    Yeah like in George Pube^H^H^H^HBush's case, sending other peoples children to *die* for his sense of self esteem?

    It almost reminds me a little bit of the furour surrounding the Pope and Mel Gibson's film. On one level, the Pope is a guy watching a movie, and he probably said something after he saw it.

    Are you sure the Pope can comprehend anything these days? All he seems to do is drool like an idiot and stare into the middle distance.

    He's an evil man, and I for one will be celebrating his death.

    What was your average at Harvard?
