alt tab application switching

It seem weird to me that when I press "Alt + Tab" to switch between applications. The "Desktop" also appears as seperate application. (I know Vista is running Explorer Shell as explorer.exe but still).
I think it will confuse user even more and they will think that there is some application running on desktop that they couldn't see. If they would like to do that why don't they list the "Sidebar" and "Gadgets" and all other stuff in the notification as well?
I say just get rid of the "desktop" in the Alt + Tab.

I am just the opposite! I really like it. There are many times I am switching just to find I closed the doc etc and I need to get to the desktop (where I saved the file) so I can open it. I like it...

They're putting the Desktop in because it's far easier now to switch to your desktop - say if you have files on there or something. Although it shouldn't come up as "explorer.exe", just "Desktop" - maybe you should bug that :o)
