Well, it's just that - a view of a folder.

Traditionally the whole desktop would be a "view" of ~/Desktop. But now you 
can view any folder you please, and even several different folder views on the 
same desktop at the same time (say one for Desktop, one for Documents, one for 
your download folder or whatever). The folder view offers a scrollbar, 
filters, it's resizable, in time it'll have file previews and more goodies. .. 
Basically it can make your desktop much more organized and powerful.

Some people will say "I never see my desktop, it's covered by windows all the 
time". They have two options - just remove the folder view you don't have to 
use it - or use the dashboard, it's only 1 click or 1 keyboard shortcut away.
