Yeah, Mitch is basically right; it's too ambitious to remain practical. It's called Sphere XP and in theory it creates a 3D environment in which your windows are "pasted" onto an invisible sphere that you can spin around with the mouse and then double-click to pull a window off the sphere or put it back on. It's a radical GUI that *maybe* portends ways to rethink modern GUIs, but from my trials with the current version, it's profoundly unusable.
You can zoom items on the sphere, which is what I did in the picture. It made for a cool screenshot; the end.

vista isn't on a sphere. it can only rotate windows. the fun comes when that sort of power is slowing your shit down. i'm gonna end up disabling all graphical fanciness anyway just like in XP. efficiency over frills. still, the sphere thing was pimp as motherfuck.

All that graphical goodness in Vista is going to be rendered by the video card and the VRAM and not the CPU and system RAM, as opposed to previous versions of Windows.
In reality, it actually frees up resources, because it's using a resource that is generally completely untapped when not playing a game.

I can do that on my Mac between OS X and XP with Parallels.
