I have yet to receive my copy of Leopard so forgive me for being a little behind... but all the demos I've seen of leopard are without icons on the main desktop.

Please tell me this does not mean you can't put icons on the desktop now... ?

Perhaps this thread will lead to the "desktop is dead" direction of thought but I'm really just asking out of ignorance... not trying to make a scene here. I do most of my file manipulations for current projects on the desktop and it's a way I've always used my Mac. It would be bad if I need to start over again.

How do they get the HD icon OFF the desktop? I can't do it.
