I like to keep my desktop clean, and I wanted to see how other people have their desktops, so post a picture, heres how.

 

Mac OS-X 

Take a screenshot of part of your screen
1) Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4. ...   
2) Move the crosshair pointer to where you want to start the screenshot.
3) Drag to select an area. ...
4) When you've selected the area you want, release your mouse or trackpad button. ...
5) Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

The windows key works as the command key if you are using a third party keyboard in OS-X

 

Windows

To take a screen capture of the entire screen

1) Press PrtScn

2) Open Paint by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking             Paint.
3) In Paint, on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.
The PrtScn key copies the screenshot to your clipboard
