Version: Desktop Calendar 0.42b
"Excellent, Unobtrusive, Lite on Resources, Simple, Handy & Easy to Use."
Pros: I seem to have the free version. Paid version has more features & is more customizable, but the free version is exactly what I'm looking for. Currently, it sits at the top of my desktop in the style of the rest of my icons, showing just the time & date, including the weekday. Only when I hover my mouse over the time/date does the calendar come up, & only for 5 seconds. You can add notes or reminders that pop up later when your computer starts up for that day. Not very customizable, but so. Not so much a scheduler as it is a simple reminder.

Version: Desktop Calendar 0.42b
Pros: First off; don't pay any attention to download.com's money-biased review of this product, it's a flawed review from start to finish. They reviewed the free version, yet slated the price of the optional-purchase upgrade. Secondly, if they'd taken the briefest of glances through the menu they'd have found much more to customise than the colours such as the shape and size, many of the functionality features and even the appearance of desktop icons.
If you want a fast, reliable and economic desktop calendar, download this program.
Cons: No throw away gimmicks to get bored by within an hour of installation.

Version: Desktop Calendar 0.42b
"The best, easiest desktop calendar out there!!!!"
Pros: After looking at the competitors, primarily Active Desktop (way too many features, most of which I will never use) and NVN for Outlook (Outlook, UGH!), this is easy, fun and tells me just what I need to know. I love the fact that after 30 seconds it becomes invisible until I need it again. Can't live without it!
Cons: I'd like a sound message/snooze when I have an appointment in case I'm not looking at my screen. That's the ONLY feature that Outlook has over this one. I don't use the wallpaper packs as I use Webshots.

"You can see important appointments on the wallpaper all the time"
Pros: As soon as you turn on your computer you will see your months activities displayed as part of your desktop. You can also right-click it to choose a colour to blend in, so it looks neat. You are reminded by a pop-up as you turn on your computer of any events for that day. You can repeat appointments (such as birthdays) on a yearly basis. Simple, but neat. I can't live without it now, and have come in to download it for the second time, having lost my first copy in a computer crash.
