  • The name says it all

  • would be better if they weren't just icons

  • This program (it is not OS) doesn't have any specific advantages over the modern GUI paradigms, as they were created to get rid of paper clutter on desk and not to recreate it on a computer, as this software does.

  • Ive tried this like 2 or 3 years ago and its NOT good, it doesn't give you ANY usability or organizing. Its just funny to throw all the shit around.

  • This product is called BumpTop, now discontinued gui shell for windows and mac. It was made by a Canadian startup company by the same name around 2009. The company as been bought by Google in 2010. Reportedly parts of it has found its way into android honeycomb.

    Look up BumpTop on Wikipedia.

  • I liked the 'product'? presentation, because it's a very original operating GUI. Though I doubt it would actually boast my productivity. So far it seems like an original and fun gimmick. I'd love to see further development on this GUI.

    Btw is there also an original OS underneath the hood? Is it an adaptation of some *NIX OS?

  • This is actually very cool.

    I'd use this.

  • Technically, Bumptop (now owned by Google) is a shell, not an OS.

  • this shit sucks

  • Great, I can lose track of my virtual documents as well! Interesting and creative idea, though.

  • Who needs file names anyway? I'd rather scrabble impotently at virtual icons and ruin my filing system every time someone jogs my elbow.

  • Comment removed

  • title is wrong, this is a windows program, not an OS

  • eh...

  • does it run on linux

  • Great, now I can hide my porn under a picture of a kitten :D

  • ...and just look at that beautiful wasted space across the left, right and top sides, what is that, 20-25% of screen space? Truly a masterpiece of design :)

  • Cool, now I can have chaos and clutter on my computer desktop too!

    Can I get that with dust, mold and breadcrumbs as well? Will there be random encounters with coffee spills and buzzing insects? How about simulated power outages and equipment failures?

    And there had better be wear and tear on those documents, I want my pdf files to wrinkle as I drag them across the floor.

    Surely this will make for a more realistic experience, and it's also worth the massive extra processing resources :)

  • So.... they replaced a nice tidy filing system found on most computers and replaced it with a simulated cluttered office space?

  • I'm still sad BumpTop is gone..

  • This is not an Operating System. It's a desktop front end that works in windows.

  • isnt an os, it is  bumptop

  • this is not an os, its an early version of bumptop.

  • WTF is a unix?

  • @KEWLPIXELGAMERZ the OS that Linux and all apple products are based off

  • This is fun to  play with , but useless to work with it :D

  • its not an OS, but a shell. Get you facts straight

  • where do u download

  • I wouldn´t want this for myself, but it´pretty cool!

  • as my angry boss says about a non-collaborative environment: "what a goat-fuck."

  • ive had piles for years

  • The repeated use of 'lassue' insted of 'lassOh' is what really killed it for me.

  • This is not an OS, it's a softwar which can display the windows desk in another way (like a real desk)

  • Man, all you guys are bashing this. I think it's awesome!

  • looks kwl but why? its like you've ported the real life problem to computer then solved it in a weird way. sounds about right for general public

  • lol... Why would anyone want another way to be messy.... this is like designed to allow you to be messy... i dont play with my files.... playing with files is unimportant. I edit my files.

  • So what's the point? Ohhhh yay! It's friday night smashdown! Today in one corner, A PDF FILE, the other corner, SAFARI! WHO WILL WIN?

    Sorry, but it's useless.

  • I have enough trouble getting distracted by the internet when i have to do my homework, if i used this OP system i would die from exhaustion and lack of sleep.

  • this piece of of software is a shoe in for the most awesome useless software award.

  • @xBDBx Agree, no reason to use this... just a resource hog... i don't even use a desktop environment on my box for everyday use; just to waste time, and detracts the user from real work.

  • now. after spending 6 minutes of my life watching how fascinating one can arrange the icons on the "desktop", i have few questions- what file types is using, i.e. can one use the file types form other OS. What software support it have- can one use for example Photoshop or AutoCAD or any other software. what system requirements it have. Is it free or payed? Open source? internet security and Browsing? this is just to begin with- i am sure there are 10 000 more questions i didn't though about.

  • Can anybody tell me where can I get this?

    I'd like to try it for myselfe :)

  • haha messy virtual desktop just like my real one

  • Where can I get this?

  • WHERE CAN I GET THIS. ps the link doesnt really work

  • this is healthy , trains ur memory by trying to remember where u left ur docs

  • Great! I can now mess up my desktop and make it completely impossible to interact with properly!

  • sorry but i see this as over complicating a simple task it looks nice and shiny and it may be a Original don’t get me wrong about it . But being actually useful I don't see it the user has to renember far to much to use it also way the hell would you what to make your file system like a desk with random crap everywhere the reason folder and subfolder etc are in every os is becase it is the best way to do . this look nice but not something that i would find usefull

  • where is the download link i want it please =)

  • I would change the video name to Most Original Desktop Feature.

  • LasOOO n' Craws.

  • Top Comment? HECK YAH!

  • Very creative, but not practical.

  • This is an awesome desktop!

  • Degree of tidiness?

    I hope you didn't spend a lot of time on this.

  • Oh, they probably have this patented so no one can use similar approach...

    (Appl***/M$ probably would use it:P)

    So this probably means now I'm unable to use my real desktop in office...

    Stop patenting...

  • I don't want OS (desktop) make me stupid!

    From the system point of view I know exactly what I want to do, I know for everything where it is - so I DON'T need any fancy gestures or "wizards" to make me stupid even more:)

  • I had this idea at 10.

    There's a reason I had this idea at 10.

  • This OS completely defeats the purpose of actually having a computer.

  • This is the most retarded OS I have EVER seen.

  • Its not a bad idea, but really doesnt take into account the sheer number of documents and files that a modern computer deals with

  • lmao

  • No, just no.

  • this is the most ridiculous and retarded idea i have ever seen! People want to find their documents easy and not put them on a pile thats why we use comps!

  • thanks

  • Hey, I can buy your internet-domain! :-)

  • what is the name of this UI?? if it is in the desripton or in a comment then I'm sorry, I could'nt find it here nor using google and I'm willing to try this!

  • .... isnt this why we have computers? oh... some people are just totally fucked i guess

  • great my porn collection will look just like under my bed, all piled in a corner

  • What the fuck is this video for?

  • OH MAH GAWD, I CAN'T FIND MY HOMEWORK!!!

  • Lassoo'n'fuck

  • Comment removed

  • The 'Exploding Pile' technique doesn't look very explosive...

  • that's only an UI, not an operating system, noob

  • slightly interesting game-like technical concept of a gui but not really useful

  • wow, a desk sim.

  • This it totally lame: anything that takes something proven like today's OS gui's and turns 1 step into 20+ is bound to fail.

  • lol this is winXP with a gui

  • Audio at 1:50 and 2:10 completely ruins the video and my thoughts on this company.

  • This is a GUI not an OS

  • lasoo?

  • wait wait wait.... computers are supposed to improve productivity... why in the world would you want to be UNorganized????

  • example of a completely user UNFRIENDLY idea that would never work.

  • oh oh, seems like somebody stole a video -.-'

    /watch?v=M0ODskdEPnQ

    original one, only other name which even tells the program's name.

    prog is called bumptop

  • its' for touchscreens ?

  • wtf is this junk?? i am lost!

  • Great. All my desktop has is the wallpaper, 2 folders, and then a dock on the bottom. But yeah, I think making my computer look like my room is definately a good idea. Wait, actually, I should probably just give up on computers all togther

  • impressive

  • Great, now the desktop is even more complicated and unorganized than it already needs to be!

    Yeah I don't use the desktop for anything but my wallpaper. I have a cool little bar across the top of my screen it's called my dock, I put programs in it and click them. I don't need to pile or manipulate or dragon cross or anything like that. Thanks for the idea though.

  • Out of sync

  • Great! Now I can use firefox to smash internet explorer

  • @RyanDolan123 how about chrome to smash both

  • I was downloaded this once...

    It was useless peace of crap...

  • This would be a nice GUI desktop. But that is all your showing off, the GUI capabilities of the desktop.

  • This is precisely the thing I try to avoid by using computers.

  • I reinstall my os every few months just to keep it nice and clean and empty... i think ide go insane if i used this as an os... feels really cluttered....

  • Aburrido! 

  • is that a pimp hand @ 0:14 ? holy shit......thats a lot of $ signs.

  • How do you get bumptop now?!

  • Comment removed

  • this is so funny XD

  • @262728Danny1 Bumptop, search it up, you can download it

  • someone needs to learn to pronounce lasso

  • This is just bumptop right :S

  • This would be cool to use for about 10 minutes when the coolness factor wears off.

  • I want this for a Tablet PC.

    WHEN I SHAKE IT MY FILES FLY AROUND LIKE A SNOW GLOBE :D

  • that seems a lot like bumptop to me...

  • I'm an old geek from the 80's. Look you wanna be nerds, stop saying GUI as gooy. It's Not gooy, it's pronounced Gee Uew Eye - G U I three simple letters, G U I get it right! Be a real Geek and call it a GUI not some stupid 13 years kid wanna be nerd slang.

  • @TheElectricRider How many people spell out NASA, RAM, or ASCII? Very few I would assume, its just far more convenient to pronounce the whole thing instead of individual letters.

  • @TheElectricRider I'm also an old geek from the 80's and I pronounce it "gooey" and always have. I also say "wimp", "askey", "snes" and "gunoo".

  • this would be cool for presentations - giving it a more realistic look - a cool novelty - but can't see any use in every day homes.

  • Looks inefficient as hell...and time consuming. And I see lag even on their "demo" PC. And what if you have most of your crap on your desktop? Epic lag anyone?

  • also... the "messy pile" widget...? haha the ENTIRE desktop looks like a messy pile widget.

  • this looks retarded, but nevertheless... hilarious. it's like a fun hide-and-seek game!

    scenario: "SHIT ! ! ! I LOST THAT REPORT... at least i'm organized-FUCK ! ! !"

  • La-sew? I thought it was lass-oh.

  • technology these days.

  • It really looks like a gangster operating system!

  • Bumptop

  • Sooo now I can say "my piles got broken and now my desktop is a mess"

  • Can you do any real work on this "most original" OS? Or do you just spend all your time "lasoooing" files out the wazoo and playing with your icons all the time? -- hey boss, I finished my work organizing 1TB of files on my desktop. I "lassoooed" them over and over.

  • What is the name of this software?

  • Take that apple. you think your OS is good looking?

  • What is the point? I mean, it looks cool, but Windows does everything you need. Why bother competing against the best system out there? And think of how un-user friendly this would be and how much it would drain your computer compared to say, Windows XP or 7.

  • @HelpMyFellowPeople The bad thing about Windows (apart from random crashes and low performance, not even mentioning viruses) is that it has only one shell (interface) so you can't change it if you want to have a different desktop style. This is why I stick with Linux.

  • @ux92 Hmmm, I have actually heard alot of good things about linux. I used to have a partition of it but it couldnt run any .exe programs so I gave it a miss.

  • @HelpMyFellowPeople That's because .exe programs are packed specially for Windows. It's like if you tried to install a .deb on Windows, or a .run.

    I have both Windows and Linux, and I use Linux for things like browsing the web and using office, and Windows games that weren't designed for Linux. Give it a try easy to use, faster and safer than Windows, but don't expect to run .exe files because they won't run as they are for a different OS, it's like trying to play PS3 format games on a Wii.

  • @HelpMyFellowPeople A Mac can't do it also. Also, try Wine and ask questions on IRC Freenode if you really want to execute some .exe. Before saying something correct, documentate yourself, or then you will maybe say something wrong. Also, Wine can run many games, but not all of them for sure because they need to do a part of the job to remove bugs in their implementations. Also, Wine Is Not An Emulator.

  • They're just folders that are hard to make! And then they use a graphic like "Fan" for MacOS Stacks.

  • Is this a joke????

  • His lack of phonetics in "lasso" is driving me nuts. Can't finish watching.

  • Real life nightmare now in cyber space.

    Think your computer's at least gonna be neater?

    Sorry, it ain't gonna happen.

  • The most useless operating system! Tidy pile? Its called a 'Folder'.

  • Bumptop sucks.

  • This is more like the inside of Windows. When you save a file or open a file, it is all put here. This "operating system" is like the unforseen framework behind Windows combined with the eye-candy of a Mac.

    This is a good tool for organizing documents besides text if you are willing to risk the bytes this can take up. However this is far from being called an operating system.

  • This is not a "original" operating system, all the video talks about its about some eye-candy file manager/browser witch is JUST a desktop, and 3D desktops are around for a while, so... ( and yes i've noticed that was uploaded in 2007 ) guess what its crap either way ( wast of resources ) peace \o/

  • Isn't this just Bumptop?

  • 1:37 sl menu lol

    

  • This isn't even a desktop environment, it's a file manager... Completely OS-independent. Looks like it would be massively helpful on a tablet, if you threw in some kind of helpful metadata aside from the file type (I'm thinking file names). This vid is old as hell anyway, I'm sure they already fixed it up or fizzled out by now.

  • thisis not an operating system! this is an userinterface u fucking nooblets.

  • @bent540 its more than a user interface, its a desktop environment you nooblet ;)

  • @rich1051414 desltop enviroment=userinterface u ass.

    welcome on the internet.

  • @bent540 thats why i said more, stop while your ahead... relatively speaking

  • @rich1051414 relatively speaking? u even know what ur saying?

    you're dumb +3

  • @bent540 your an idiot. Meaning your ahead compared to where you will be if you keep talking, but go ahead keep talking, and heres a brand new shovel :)

  • @rich1051414 lol, u fucker! you're from the states and dont know dif between "your" and "you are"!! foklolz.

    it seems YOU'RE the idiot. u little dumbass.

    +u dont make no fuckign sense. fucking nooblet.

  • @bent540 obviously i was mistaken. i guess shortening words makes me an idiot.

  • @rich1051414 i don't think you purposely shortened "you're" to "your".

    it's one of the most common english mistakes.

  • It looks pretty interesting

  • where can i download this

  • isnt this just bumptop?

  • worthless

  • stupidest idea ever. Letters replace a pile of paperwork with a virtual pile of paper work duh

  • My first thought was this video was about Plan 9, but on second thought the only original os is Unix. There's never been a successful OS not highly Unix influenced.

    But then this vid has nothing to do with operating systems. Big thumbs down.

  • not an OS, just a graphical file manager. I reckon for any serious file management your still better off learning to touch type and learn some file managing commands.

  • is there a version for linux of this shit?

  • @GenoSkill None that I know of, but i'm still looking xD

  • making the computer desktop as unorganized as the typical real-world desktop.

    lol. i thought computers would make our things more organized not less so. this seems like a step backwards. not to mention how bloated this would make normal computer system operations. tsk tsk.

  • looks like bumptop...

    

  • it can be pronounced both ways

  • It's called Bumptop

    Look it up 

  • WHATS IT CALLED GODDAMNIT!?!

    please :P

  • Is it still in development? Or is it still circulating the Internet somewhere? I would love to try this.

  • As if people don't already screw around in the work place enough lets make it so they can just have fun with the icons.

  • the link in the decription is for sale and where can I download this? it's::

    awesome!!

  • more of a game than an os

  • Looks like a good idea for tablet PCs.

  • It's not an OS. It's just a normal software.

    Learn basic computers.

  • @AtlasRedux This just highlights how confused people are about what an operating system is. Many people think of the desktop as an operating system.

  • great now i can use a computer, and be unorganized at the same time.

  • awesome

  • looks fun to play with for about 5 minutes, but id rather just make a folder..

  • AT 0:11 the $-rings: That's how you can spot a pro!

  • I want this kind fo desktop in ubuntu 11.10!!!

  • yaz bumptop

  • It's Bumptop!

  • HAH this looks so shot

  • correction, most original desktop

  • Is there a "push it all under the bed" motion?

  • This is not an operating system.

  • @SaschaHeylik ur right, it´s just a program

  • We need this to be the interface for phones (although Google has bought the company that made it, maybe Android's new interface?).

  • The problem with this is that it's making subconcious actions possible through concious thought and effort, which doesn't work well, and never has.
