Wow quartz extreme 5 years too late.

Too bad they've been trying to push that pile of trash for years. I remember watching earlier videos of Looking Glass.

Yeah, I can't tell a difference. It sort of looks like OSX though...

I kind of like it actually. Humans organize everything in 3D its unnatural having to rely on 2D space for most of our work.

So far, I think it's cool. I want to use it for a while and get a feel for speed first though ;-)

Yeah, that's what I thought. It looks like one of those psuedo-futuristic Operating Systems that we've seen in "future movies" like Johnny Nemonic or Minority Report.
