I remember a thread about a java based environment that looked very similar.. but now I give you the winblows version : http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/ (watch the videos. very impressive)

I've not tested it myself, so I'd love to hear in here from anyone that does.

Looks very useful to me as a developer, I need all the screen space I can get!
I'll test it later.

Be aware that you need the .NET framework (from Win Update>Windows XP) and a decent 3D graphics card.

What card DO you have?

[Richard M]

What graphics card do you have Paul?
I'd say anything which you can play Quake III on would do the job.

32 mb tnt , obviously not the best but ................

[Richard M]

IIRC, you can't use OpenGL on those - only DirectX 6 and Glide or something.
I could be wrong though.
