I thought longhorn was going to do something like this?

 

Too bad it's in Java and will run all slow.

"By integrating 3D into the window manager, it's an easy way for existing 2D applications to obtain 3D functionality, in a sense, "for free"

"you can run the Project Looking Glass environment on Windows, just as you can run any Java 3D application"

"Q: My PC laptop (a Dell Inspiron) has a 32MB RADEON Mobility 7500. Will that work?

A: It should ? that's the same card that's in my development laptop"

 

[ragazzo]

interesting

 

[Monkey muppet]

ATOT effect needed...??.??..?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

thats nothing innovative in my opinion. still the same drag-drop HCI, just a little fancier implementation.

 

[PricklyPete]

I saw based on java...and stopped reading.

Just kidding. Looks pretty neat.

That's just what they claim. We all know from experience that java in its current form is already dirt slow and a CPU/memory hog. Imagine a whole desktop environment using it.

This sort of thing already exists in WindowsBlinds. It's damned hog-like in speed and robustness... and it's not even Java. You get the point.

I'm not knocking it down, I'm just hoping they improve upon it.

The only thing I saw useful was the way you are able to attach notes to files. It would be nice if windows had a more intuitive system of adding notes to files; you can do it now but as far as I know you have to do it through Explorer.

In a way, they should

Sun has such a damned monopoly on Java...

 

[nakedfrog]

Eh.

 

[Gibson486]

this has been in development ever since Sun made it big with Java......There are some previous coops at NU that worked on this project. I am surpirsed they did not dump it or release it yet.

Sometimes I look at other pages when replying. I get side tracked. I didnt refresh the page before I posted so that had already been posted and I did not see it. Sorry for the inconvenience knobjob.

They need to throw some AA on that along with some motion trails and blur effects. That would be ticketa tight yo.

I don't understand the 3D windowing concept. So instead of clicking to another window, what are my benefits with this?
