Thank you Christoph.

To the other responders: you obviously didn't look at the video it is
a demonstration of a user moving windows that are transparent, and
fluid like , ie if you grab the top of a window and move it sideways,
the bottom will drag like it was a piece of cloth. Even a window
playing a movie. When switching between desktops it is like the
desktops are the faces of a cube and the cube is spun sideways, up and
down to display the other desktops, all very neat and not very
corporate, and not even very useful per se, but I can't wait to try to
get Xgl working on my Beta 3 box.

It will be so funny when Microsoft Vista finally ships, and it will
look like last generation of desktops next to Linux and the Mac.

An oh yeah.... Novell Linux Desktop
http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/ is not SUSE Linux
