3D Operating System

windows 7 = best operating system to date!
its not clammered like vista and it has a slightly better look to it as well. there are many shortcuts and gadgets to play with, but windows 7 helps you get work done faster as well as have fun.
it may cost a lot of money but windows 7 is totally and completely worth it for its price.

the only reason i can think of to want a 3d os is because it has a lot of eyecandy..., which vista has too

Where can i dwonload that?

I don't find the 3D OS very useful... only useful thing is the ability to write notes on the back of the windows, but then again so what? is no like is going to increase productivity in an already busy working environment, on the contrary... it clutters the screen with 3D windows instead of hiding them or minimizing them.

The reason why 3D desktops like this have never taken off (other than doing transitions to switch windows - like in Vista / Windows 7) is because there is little wrong with the way things are now, Xerox PARC got it spot on, that's why it's changed very little from day one - it WORKS.

This is just pointless eye candy.

@LTS1287 because avarage joe can not see or use the OS itself (example the Linux kernel, NT, XNU or SunOS what are typical OS's) but the software what draws the UI (CLI/GUI). Avarage joe believes that when you change the UI, you change the OS.

The saying "Seeing is believing" applies very well to software. You see only the software on monitor andthat is the OS because you have got such.

@galagor7 Actually Looking Glass is just a desktop environment for SunOS, Linux, NT and so on. It has be available since 2003 and last stable is from 2007. The Looking Glass was one of the ideas why the Compiz Fusion window manager got started. Sun got something working out before MS had anything than a demovideo about Longhorn (Windows Vista). Demovideo what did not even turn to be the Vista.

wow, a dock!  what a creative and new idea in an operating system!

@DanTheNextSpielberg

What you see on the video, is not a OS. It is a Looking Glass desktop from Sun what is running top of SunOS on the demo. And you can get that to Linux and NT OS's if wanted. The Looking glass demo is from 2003. It was developed long time before it and made with Java.

The Loogking Glass is just a desktop environment like KDE or GNOME.

interesting. thanks for the info!
