Re: [semi-serious] Future of the desktop

Me neither. They seem to love their 'piles' but considering that the computer desktop environment is 2-D, it creates more work than is necessary. Also unlike the real world, two PDF "files" do look exactly the same when represented as icons. Even though... bah, you get the picture. Unless you'd like me to organize it for you.

Re: [semi-serious] Future of the desktop

Some of those things looked like application windows shrunk down. If that is the case then you'd need som ridiculous amount of RAM to run this, and probably some sort of automatic hibernation at shutdown (Magneto-Flash Ram maybe).

Re: [semi-serious] Future of the desktop

I'd like that kind of environment when handling windows. I tend to end up with a lot of windows open, and trying to find the one I am looking for is stressful.
