You will need to install the .Net Framework 2 first.. Inside XP 32 bit only... I tried 64bit, but there is no support at this time, that I know of..

I've used SphereXP, it's great if you have a fast system and a whole lot of multi-tasking. If you're not the type that has half-a-dozen or more windows open at any one time it's really just a needless drain on system resources.

I don't really see the point. Why would i want to read webpages that are skewed in 3d space? I think i'll stick with my window layering.

That's not really how it works at all, if the window has focus it's just like normal windows. They only get skewed when you want them to, it's something similar to minimizing. Basically, it lets you minimize windows, but still see their content. One caveat, when they're in the background windows don't update.

Interesting...but not for me.

Is this maybe what Windows Vista is hinting at with its 3D interface?

Vista has something kind of similar. The Alt-Tab function actually angles the windows sideways (think angled bookshelf) so you can just see a bit of each of them. It looks cool, unfortunately it's stuff like that that makes a DX9 video card a must have for full Vista visuals. Sorry integrated video users...

I cringe at the thought of my resources being killed by that feature.
