    ...who says that all open-source software can do is copy proprietary desktops.

    I think 3D interfaces have a long way to go and need work on display and input devices to become as usable as our current 2.5D interfaces, but at least this is something to shut up everybody who wants a 3D desktop or wants to moan about open-source software.
