I'll bet that's a resource HOG!!!

That's probably no Ultra...more like an SGI box, I'll bet.

Erm... do regular users need it?

It looks promising, but I think it works best only till the Matrix is reborn...

I wouldn't install it as it looks like a resource monster. I dun like to waste resources that way...

But it should compete with longhorn...

When I used to run that "98" OS and used LS as a desktop I had several japanese applications that would let me manipulate the windows in any direction. I could stack 'em', rotate, collapse...all very much like this. I think I still have them on a floppy somewhere. Reminds me there was also a scrollbar on the right side of the screen where I could scroll the desktop to the tune of about 10X..like pager only on the same desk.
