Sun Releases Looking Glass 3D Desktop
Sun Microsystems has released a 3D desktop called Looking Glass this week for Windows XP, Linux and Solaris users. The program allows certain applications to be rotated in 3D space to maximize the available desktop space.



Looking Glass, which was first shown off in 2003 and released as an open-source project in 2004, allows users to run a Java-based desktop environment on top of Windows, or on Linux or Solaris. The software allows certain applications to be run in a "2.5D" environment, allowing them to be rotated in 3D space to maximize the available desktop space.

I saw this feature on Mac, heard that something is possible in Vista, but didn't know you can install it on windows too.
Looks very nice, but maybe a bit too toyish :)
