Other applications grow the desktop to a content-creation and information management plattform that misses only few functionalities.

The Cross-Desktop being installed on a dedicated or virtual server together with a permanent backbone connection allow the integration of sceduled download and information services that even allow to record radio programmes with user's absence. Using https the dialog is even secure.
