You miss a interesting presentation...
Looking glass is a desktop in 3d where you interact with windows and apps in a 3d world.

You can do a lot of cool things in it.
Like turning a browser window and write a note on the back of the window (most see).
You have an icon for each open window, in fact this is a smaller view of the same window put on a shelf on the bottom of the screen.

This is really 'cool', but I dont know if this kind of desktop can bring a better productivity or really help novices to take on on computers. If novice have problems to catch how to use a mouse in a flat 2d world, how they will be able to handle this 3d world?
