It looks very interesting, I've signed up..

... I'm not quite sure how much I would enjoy using it in an everyday circumstance, but I would very much like to try it.

I really liked it, from the looks of things you could actually keep your desktop a lot cleaner - by piling things up in one stack in the corner - but still keep a large number of icons.

I'd certainly give it a go Very Happy

That certainly looks interesting... I would have to see specs and other information but if it works well a definitely good product.

I'm not trying to be controversial - but i don't think it's for me.
It looked like a bit of fun that will get old quickly.
I thought a lot of the ideas were worst than what we have now.

I like order and a place for everything. However, that's my opinion after watching a video - i may like it if i had a chance to play around with it.

I love the concept - seems a lot more sensible that Bill Gates' touch-screen vision for Windows 7.

Now what I want to see is virtual Coffee Cups, and documents with coffee 'rings' and spills on them. Then it really will look like my desk!

Can totally see where you're coming from Rob. I'd still be very much up for giving it a try but I know myself, I tend to go for these types of things then revert back to the original. I suppose it's a bit like program skins.

I like the concept.

I'm not sure how it would tie in with program interfaces and the start menu, etc etc, but just the desktop idea, I like.

But as has already been said, I'm not sure how long it would actually last until I got a little bored with it.
