i just like having them there, the only real one i use everyday is dreamscene for my background, have some custom video files i use.
on my computer i run ULTIMATE X64 main OS, Windows 7 X64, XP Pro X64 - not so much XP anymore but it is still there left it in case i ran into any issues with VISTA, and 7 is on a virtual machine with VMWARE.
soon going to install OSX LEOPARD, not sure if i want to do it in a VM or with a multiple boot setup. and maybe UBUNTU, LINUX, and or UNIX not sure on those as i don't really know how to use them but am willing to learn, the question is do i have time to learn them.
but on my wife's laptop i have home premium X86.
To each his own, if I wanted a video desktop I'd use VLC's wallpaper mode and save myself some coins. As far as Linux goes, I highly suggest you try it. Ubuntu is a good beginners distro, I myself run OpenSUSE as my primary OS, but that is another conversation. You're wasting your time if you install unix, you can access the unix shell from any Linux distro or OSX, and that is sufficient for most people's need to learn unix.
