I think this software was mentioned before on these forums...looks amazing. The great thing is that it runs on top of your standard linux distro and all your applications work, but with the added effect of the 3D desktop environment.

Is it gonna be compatible for Windows?

It's definately going to be a killer app, I just hope that they release it under a free software licence. For any X-windows users who want a small taste, try
this 3D workspace switcher, it's pretty cool

No, it's built to run on top of X-windows so unless there's some amazing turnaround by Microsoft it won't. It's highly likely though that MS will release something similar.

The possible MS equivalent, or Sun's Looking Glass? For the former, that's not a bet I would like to take For Sun I would imagine there would be at least a free binary version for home/educational uses going on some of their other offerings (i.e OpenOffice).

ooh! i want it!

Very flashy but what will it achieve?

All I want are applications that let me produce my work as easily and efficiently as possible. Most software designers seem to have enough trouble making user interfaces that work well in 2D - never mind 3D. And just think of all the extra bugs it's going to introduce......noooo!

Looks like us MS users may get it after all.

I could say the same about your avatar.
