What do I call it?

My other post didn't produce the results I was looking for, so I'm rewording
it here. I'm not ignoring the responses I did get.

What do you call a window that is always on top and semi-transparent (like a
ghost)? But clicks and typing will go through to the windows beneath it.
I'm searching for such a product, but I can't figure out what to call it.
I'm looking for one that is compatible with video.

It's not wallpaper, background, or a screensaver.

Not sure if it still does...but nvidia cards used to come with nview for
translucent windows...not sure if you could "click thru" them

Never crashed on me or the dozens of computers I have installed on. If
you think that Ubuntu crashes more than Windows of any flavor, you are
very ill informed but that's to be expected from a dolt like you who
believes the FUD emanating out of Redmond.

Speaking of FUD...in the long period of your claimed "ubuntu installation,
ruin client's PC's campaign" you are at the dozens still ?
It's been dozens for a least a year.

I think it's 2 ... both yours.

"Dozens" doesn't mean "two". It could be thousands or didn't you learn
what plurals are in school? For example, "PC" does not need an
apostrophe to be plural; that's for the possessive form, you moron.

Results 1 - 10 of about 3,000,000 for vista crashes. (0.44 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,450,000 for Ubuntu crashes. (0.20 seconds)

My favorite is "trying to make Ubuntu crash" as one of the results.

So you manipulated the google search ... and still proved ubuntu sucks.

Vista is on 10,000 times more PC's than ubuntu ... yet you could only
generate a result of 2 times the number of hits.
