 Thread, arise from the grave!

I'm not sure if this 6 minute video was available a year ago (a year! wow!) but it's pretty neat.

Was apparently a demo given in 2003, so who knows how far ahead things have progressed. So um er hey M$ where exactly is your 3D OS again? *looks at calendar*

 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?
