there are some really nifty ideas related to the user interface, desktop, and window management.

agh, i did do a search! i guess the word "gui" turned up too much junk in the support forums and i didn't notice the relevant thread in the search listing.

anyways, it's still an impressive video!

Imho the touchpad and keyboard should be combined into one unit. It looks like typing would have unnaturally difficult.
If the touch pad where back lit to show the keys when being used as a keyboard it wouldn't feel as weird.
Besides how many people use the mouse and keyboard at the same time?:)

Bah! Humbug!

I see nothing that I can't do faster and easier with a mouse and keybindings.

that cause you've probably spent 10years with mouse and keyboard....10 years of that might be able to match the speed. Its only the first step i imagine much more to come
