Wow, I can't believe I missed that. That picture looks really nice, I've always loved serious Sakura pictures. <3
She looks so... evil. XD

But now that I have 1920 x 1200, I put all the stuff on my desktop and organize it. My favorite stuff is still on the quick launch though, but only on the very front. I never open up the submenu, and I very rarely if ever use the start menu at all.
I always have Xfire on the left and Trillian on the right, 24/7. My chat windows border the bottom of the screen (Xfire on left, real-life friends in the center, internet friends on the right), and all other windows (such as Firefox, Microsoft Office programs, Windows Explorer) open in the center.
As for how I organize my icons: usual computer utilities are along the far left column, second left column has music and video players. Far right column has chat programs, second right column has audio/video/image editors. First center row has video games, second center row has other utilities I frequently use. The quicklaunch, which shows five icons, has: "Show Desktop", "Firefox", "Windows Media Player", "Winamp", and "Trillian".
It's a very streamlined interface, easy to use, easy to get to stuff, and all of my information is on-screen when I need to know things. My resolution plays a huge role in my interface; if it weren't as big and spacious as it is, I wouldn't be able to organize this well. =)

that's incredibly organized o.o
I can't believe you're so young..
You're the only person who has made Vista look good..
Takeru:
Hey. If you know what you're doing, you can make anything look pretty.
And Aero looks nice. Not as nice as Aqua, but certainly better than Luna or Classic.
(I hate squares and angles. Curvy edges look pretty, and they look even better when they're all fadey and stuff. Which is why I heart Aqua and Aero. Things that just appear are, like, so 1990's.)
monkey:
I'm assuming that Aero, Aqua, Luna and Classic are different skins for Vista?

haha, I love this quote.
Takeru:
NO. Absolutely not. Why would I compare it against itself? I was comparing Vista's shiny default skin, Aero, with other skins from other products. Aqua is the magnificent work of Apple for the Mac OS X and features a soft unobtrusive color scheme, and the effects are a lot better and a lot prettier. Luna was the atrocious looking theme for Windows XP that was full of clashing colors and whatnot (yuck). Classic is the boxy grayish meh theme for all of the Windows OS's preceding Windows XP.
Windows Aero
Aqua
Windows Luna
Windows Classic
Personally, the things I like about Aero are its glassy look, its intuitivity, and its . However, Aqua is also really good looking and takes up a lot less memory, and it has much better effects (like I said, stuff that just "disappears" is really outdated nowadays). It's important to note that Aero got a lot of influences and ideas from Aqua (or at least we can assume that, since Aero came years after Aqua).
