I saw videos of this about 3-4 years ago when it was still just a research concept. I heard they were making it into a public product, but I hadn't seen anything about it for years. Glad to see it finally came out, I think it's an interesting approach for tablet computing. The 3D view is new to me though (the original concept was just a flat workspace).

well, I had the beta versions earlier, and they were crazy slow, and this thing, just like WindowsBlinds, is a virtual memory eater. The reason why is because this is an extra shell on top of Windows theme shell. It doesn't replace it, but adds onto it

looks fun! but true nimrodboy3 - my desktop is messy enough as it is...I think this would make it look even more crazy. =P
