All I can say is, please keep it simple. I would agree that a dazzling 3D environment seems very cool in the mind's eye but the bottom line for me is ease of use and not being overwhelmed when attempting to access information or utilize an application.
The original story seems to exist merely for entertainment purposes as the chances of any danger befalling us here on Earth is almost non-existent. It is a clever bit of marketing on the part of the lab that put out this information but it falls under a "chicken little" event.
In the past I have suffered numerous compatibility issues with nVidia cards and software, mostly games, and am looking forward to the new offering from ATI.
