From the developer:
BGInfo has the power to scan the workstation and provide a bunch of details but, as compared to the rest of the applications supposed to do that, it does the whole thing in a more innovative way.
The programs shows all the data right on the desktop, applying the text straight over the wallpaper, so it won't bother you at all.
