Comment Is 3D really a step forward? (Score 1) 545
3D is great for lots of things (games, simulations, et al), but I'm not so sure about an OS.
3D requires even more complex commands to function. For example, instead of hitting tab (or somesuch key) to flip a page, or scroll to the next set of information, you'd have to maniplate the object, just like the real world.
Also, (for me at least), my computer is the only organized space I have. My desk is awash with clutter, old papers, books, and general junk. On the other hand, all of my music is neatly presented in they're respective files, and all my projects have they're own scheme also. If my OS suddenly went to 3D, it would be in the same state as my desk within the week.
In short, programers need to limit complexity, not create it. While 3D does have that "gee wiz" tipe apeal, it's practical uses are limited.
