Bringing the world to your desktop

With Windows Millennium Edition you can set up your desktop
with complete World Wide Web integration at a single click. As
Microsoft Help says, "The Active Desktop interface lets you put
'active content' from Web pages or a channel on your desktop.
You can make your desktop truly your own space by adding the
active items you refer to on a regular basis: news, weather, sports,
stock prices or whatever you want to have at hand."

the Active Desktop:

Your desktop is ready to set up.
