Well First of all it's
Well First of all it's Windows XP using a custom style (probably style xp or some other product) and secondly it's probably done by default by the theme that person is using

The links are a gadget.
as I remember, it's a vista feature, not sure about xp.

well oliverk
MS stopped using the "Active Desktop" function in Win2k Pro, notice that you dont ever get the "To use this, Active Desktop must be enabled. Do you want to enable Active Desktop now (Y/N)" notification anymore, and i also dont think that XP has integrated features like that so it is definately XP with 3rd party soft installed.

Not so active desktop?
Maybe Object Desktop is what OliverK meant? It is by the same people who do WindowBlinds.

XP
I'm inclined to agree with Zach. It's definitely Windows XP (judging by the icons in the tray). I'm not so sure as to how this person put the links on the desktop like that.

Page
Where's the deviantART page you found it on? Or did you just find it with Google or from a link?

It looks like
it looks like the user hid all desktop icons and used Samurize to add the (text) links back to folders, recycle bin, etc... (along with a custom XP theme of course).

i checked that out...
and i havent installed it but the descriptions make it seem like the program used is most likely Samurize. from th descriptions it seems like Samurize is most likely what we are dealing with.

XP
It looks like windows Xp. You can tell by the windows logo on the start button. It is XP style and not vista style. It is also probably using a Windows Blinds theme. Whoever it belongs to, it is probably infested with viruses since it has limewire installed on it. It is also interesting that the screen shot was taken at 4:20 in the morning. Either the time is wrong or someone couldn't sleep.
