I've been wondering for YEARS when the "desktop" would finally get a Z axis. This is a great start in that direction. One might expect the brilliant, oh so "innovative" visionaries at Microsoft to sooner or later do something outside of the box (or the plane actually), but we just keep getting more of the same. I guess you could say that creativity there is just plane flat. Maybe we'll eventually get a drop shadow on the BSOD text or something... Kudos to the folks at Upper Bound! Waaaay cool!
