Plus, the Integrated AIGLX based 3D Desktop is wayyyyy too cool. U'll start making even MacOS guys jealous :)
Hmm... the point of jealousy would be in terms of it looking ``wayyyyy too cool" AND being GPL through and through. Let's face it Apple rules when it comes to building interfaces, Aqua(on Mac OS X) is one of the most crisp and elegant looking UI's out there, moreover they take the same care and precision in making their widget sets !!! Pity they don't seem to have any inclination to release that bit under GPL.

Guys, I had posted an idea some months back about having a graphical desktop that has moving animations that imitate real life situations like writing a letter on a letter pad, folding it and putting it in an envelope, posting it in the letter box, delivery van picking it up, etc....The idea is to help people who are scared or nervous about using computers. If we can get animation/gaming development guys to develop this desktop environment, we can beat any other 3D desktop especially now when Vista is touting its new 'aero' interface. What say guys?

Isn't aero simply transluscency and shadows? It's been in the OS market since a year or two now, that too with slightly lesser hardware requirements.
