So, No 2D windows on the face of rotating cubes ? I was thinking more on the metaphor side of things than on the technical one when you ask the question. But sure a desktop task bar where each icon would be an animated 3D object floating a small distance on top of the taskbar would be neat, maybe the taskbar could even have an horizontal feel or something like that. BTW, i like the way Apple is doing icons that grow when you pass over them, i guess they will be using the same trick for the tabs in their new safari browser.
