There's something called "Active Desktop" in Windows which allows you  
to display the contents of a website (or websites) on your desktop  
(effectively working as wallpaper).

I tried it a couple times and after the "neato" factor wore off I  
found it rather tedious and distracting.

I don't know of an equivalent in Mac OS X (which doesn't mean there  
isn't one) but Dashboard is much better as it gets out of the way...  
for those of us who prefer less clutter.
