StarDock - 1 More Happy Customer

Fusion's review of Galactic Civilizations below reminded me of another terrific StarDock product, which is the full StarDock suite that includes Object Desktop and Windows Blinds. These are the main two, but you get a whole mess of programs and utilities that essentially skin the daylights out of your desktop. The software is all tied to the WinCustomize website and allows users to download desktop toys, new wallpapers, windows skins, widgets and custom-designed desktops with all new interfaces and animations. I had a lot of fun with this over the past year and although I more than likely won't re-subscribe, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot just to make your computer time more interesting. Plus, they have a custom Star Trek Desktop that you can download which is worth the 50 bucks by itself.
