Looks like looking glass for sure...
It looks cool, but doesn't look very friendly or productive.

Sounds exactly like Apple then, style over substance every timeOriginally Posted by damis648

Kind of like the iphone. So many different abilities but what ones would you actually use. Style and looks over practical functionality.

@3D Desktop Interface:
Maybe it's a little too early to tell, but my first reaction is that this is part of Apple's "throw lots of stuff at the wall and see what sticks" process. Personally, I don't really care for it. "Spaces" was useful, and (oddly) though I don't make use of it on Macs, I do use multiple desktops from time to time on my Ubuntu box.
Have you ever found something in the second-to-last place you looked?
If it seems like I am ignoring you, perhaps I am.

You're not thinking "three dimensionally"
Sun introduced some of these concepts some years ago with the Java Desktop Environment, like the concept of "book-shelving windows"
Now for something completely opinionated:
A 3d desktop released by apple is bound to be flawed because they are going to maintain all the controls over it, not the end user. Because of all the details you can apply cosmetically to a 3d desktop over a 2d desktop, if the user is not allowed to tune it and make it functional to him or her, it will fail. Apple has always been more about preserving their look than giving a damn about what anyone else might want to do when it comes to cosmetics.

I like the idea personally, everyone here is just slagging it off because it's by Apple.
If it was a experimental Compiz-Fusion fork, you would all be saying what a good idea it is.
You don't really think the desktop will stay 2D for the rest of its life?
