Public Desktop, I like it...
This is one area that WindowsXP and Windows7 out-shines Linux based desktops. Public Desktop and Public StartMenu.

I must manage multiple users on the same WinXP machine.
I want all to have the same basic StartMenu and Desktop (so they have the same set of tools, utilities etc.) I have been loving the "Documents&Settings\AllUsers" for years. It is one of the best parts of WinXP and now Win7.

Gnome,KDE must have something similar but I cannot decode the tree structure for the StartMenu of either. Trying to keep the Linux based systems consistent is much harder.

We all have good in us, some more than others.
This is one area where the Linux based Desktops can take a page from Microsoft's Playbook.
