Oh I know - I was tasked with researching using Active Desktop as a launcher for apps for my company (who had a custom PowerBuilder app as their desktop at the time) and even though the desktop idea was way past it's expiry date (especially with all the ray-traced graphics they were using), switching to Active Desktop basically meant there wasn't enough system resources available to run a normal amount of apps with anything approaching acceptable performance (CPU and RAM hog), plus it just wasn't as good anyway.
Thankfully soon after that they abandoned the whole desktop launch-pad idea and went to just using normal Windows icons from the start menu
