I am usually pretty reticent when it comes to '3D desktops', but this seems very cool for pen-based devices...(it might actually be more practical to take some of these concepts and incorporate them into a 'traditional' desktop environment).

There are several threads about this already. Here are two of them:

I think the point is that these concepts work in 2D, too...it is not just about the 3D. My desktop gets pretty cluttered during the day, with incoming files etc. I regularly tidy it up, but being able to quickly group and organize 'clusters' of files would be useful to me.

I thought that the use of the wheel menu was good. It's been around about as long as the GUI itself but has never seen the light of day in the real world.

I thought that the desktop was a good start but it's just that--a desktop. The other 95 % of the user interface needs to be planned.

It's clever to be sure.

Seems like a lot of fun, but not very usable IMHO.

Interesting concept, don't know how useful it is.
