3D

[andrewducker]

I've just watched a video of Sun's 3D desktop (Project Looking Glass), and I _still_ can't see the point of a 3D desktop. Largely when I'm working I want a single app, maximised. Sometimes I want a couple of apps so I can retype something from one window to another, or read documentation while working, but I don't think I've ever needed something in 3D - largely because my screen isn't 3D, so trying to put 3D things on it just means you're overlaying the things I'm actually trying to look at.

Has anyone got a suggestion for how a 3D desktop might be useful?

Would your books be better if all the letters were embossed, then?

Would you rather life be television because reality is too distracting?
