" This guy looks like a CS grad or (oh horrors) a digital designer. I would really love to see his credentials."
David Reed is many things, but crackpot is not one of them. He was a professor of computer science at MIT, then chief scientist at Software Arts during its VisiCalc days, and then the chief scientist at Lotus during its 1-2-3 days. But he is probably best known as a coauthor of the paper that got the Internet's architecture right: "End-to-End Arguments in System Design."
I think I'd rather wait til we can have genuine 3d displays for this sort of thing...then this would be okay. But I think it isn't too good looking, and I've seen other programs that simply open up over the standard windows shell, and they look about the same as far as capabilities.
