A "different" Layout Blame it on lack of...inspiration

[rkage 0]

So I was, and still am, thinking about creating a much more GUI based layout to my site were the Photoshop layout meets CSS type thing. But since I am not the best artist in Photoshop, I decided to use already generated images. No, not even Google ones, far closer to home than that...

The Layout

What I've tried to do here is combine tags and useful things from the XHTML and CSS with as small, and limited number of, pictures as possible. I've yet to add a few things on but it is really good to have something to aspire to create a 100% layout of so that you know that you can do it. If i was creating it from memory, it wouldnt be so good.

So, for laughs, I want ideas for the layout. How can it be improved other than adding the Start menu thingymabobs. I was thinking of making it a "free site" where users on this board submit links to free programs so that other users can find them. Also we could put our sites on the desktop as links. Obviously i cant release the layout as MS will probably sue me or something but it would be fun to have. Whattya think?
