EarthDesk: Tom’s Budget Software Pick

EarthDesk replaces your desktop image with a dynamically updated projection of the earth. EarthDesk projections show not only the day/night terminus line as it moves across the earth, but also real-time cloud cover, and an accurate rendering of the current moonlight reflecting off the earth.

Besides showing real-time events, you can also configure EarthDesk to display the world using political boundaries and 11 different projection maps.

EarthDesk remembers your previous desktop image and easily reverts back to it, should you decide to disable or uninstall EarthDesk. This simple nicety is an example of the care and thoughtfulness that went into the design of EarthDesk.

If you want the world at your fingertips, give EarthDesk a try.

EarthDesk is $24.95 for an individual or $39.95 for a family pack. A trial version is also available.
