Well, this is 15.4" monitor, so that I have. Never had that aspect ratio before, so I'll have to see how I decide to use it.

The app launcher sounds interesting, but I don't see the advantage over icons on the desktop. In the meantime, I already got rid of the item there that was showing me Google blogs, and added my home town to the weather. I think the news feed is going soon, since I think it'll keep me from getting things done.
