As you can see from the screenshot, the desktop has changed visually in one or two key ways; firstly, the clock has been completely redesigned, abandoning the older Longhorn style clock for a sleeker, more professional look (which admittedly looks awful currently). Also present, as the annotations (written by an MS employee) state, are a quick search button, "New Basket", and a synchronize feature, all included on the Sidebar.
