Wow I think this is a new record for you DD. Almost a year old thread resurrection :P
Sad thing is I still don't see how making it 3D makes it better. Stacking windows works in 2D, transparency is a 2D feature, the little icons at the bottom look the the dock in OS X. and how is turning windows on their side any better than minimizing to a task bar or rolling the window up into its title bar?
