Well I found a little application that may be useful to many here. I'm sure plenty of you here have a big collection of DVDs, Books, Games, etc. I found this little app a fun way to organize it all.
It uses the Amazon search, much like MediaMonkey, to create an entire library of all of your stuff. If you have a webcam, you can even use that to scan the barcode to find the product info. You can then edit the items in your library. Say I let my friend borrow a book of mine. I'll select the book, and I can make a record I gave friend x book y on z date. I don't have Vista yet, so I'm without the games explorer. Who needs it? With this you can make a games collection, change the properties so when you press the "Play" button it can launch your game. This is also perfect if you have plenty of eBooks, so when you press "Play" it can open the .pdf file, a virtual bookshelf it you will. I would love this if it worked on Linux. The developer said it may work with WINE, but hasn't been tested. Give it a try, and tell me what you think of it.
