Because it can perfectly simulate your Windows desktop with the popular function of Mac OS and iPad desktop - Launchpad, a quick start function and effect (for example: place all commonly-used files, folders, applications, and shortcuts on a virtual desktop to quickly call). This does provide Windows users with a fresh and beautiful user interface and usage experience, and improves their work efficiency when using computers.

If our computer desktop was only used for displaying static or dynamic wallpapers, that could be the most perfect situation, and that's also the origin of the desktop I think. But the design of Microsoft Windows never considered this point - it always lets user have to stack a variety of shortcut icons of programs, files, or folders on the desktop, which badly affects user's usage experience and work efficiency. As a result, various shortcuts quick launch programs got their market, and of which, XLaunchpad is a more beautiful and practical one.
