... was to provide new and flexable way of manipulating data, for example scrolling through a alphabetical list to find which song you want to listen to, but the only thing i have seen from every '3D' desktop program, or mock-up, is a passion to create something which confroms to real-life!
I think the point is being missed here...if we are going to make the jump from 2d to 3d, then it has to be something extremly new and has to give us ways of manipulating data in ways that we haven't thought of before, like the jump from CLI to GUI.
I, for one, don't want to have to "flick through" my cd collection to find a cd in real life, its time-consuming and boring (esp. when you have alot of cd's which dont always stay where they are supposed to!), let alone trying to do it on my computer!
(P.S. don't get me started on the notes behind the website!)
Personally, i believe this is a good thing! The reason for this is that although LindowsOS has some good software in it, Click-And-Run, for instance, it has the most rediculous name! It sounds like a cheap rip-off OS, and the larger it grows in the desktop market, IT will be their (the average joe family) perception of Linux, and quite frankly, i do not trust a product called "Phoney" so why should i trust "Lindows"!
