Damn! I wonder how my Radeon X300 SE will cope (or not). I'll be sticking with XP. Don't find 3D GUIs particularly interesting, honestly. Choppy on a 6600 GT, eh? Damn!

Flavours of this sort of UI nightmare have been available under Linux for quite some time I believe. I recall playing with one at least 5 years ago. However I am a firm believer that having a cool 3d Windows Manager will in no way at all increase anybody's productivity in the slightest, nor make it easier to manage your bloated file system. In fact about all it will do imho is mean you'll need more memory and a better graphics card to run the latest versions of Windows. Which BTW I am unlikely to upgrade to until they stop supporting XP. Ah yes. The 3d Window Manager.
