New potential desktop

[Fratricide]

I watched this video earlier about a new desktop interface that is being developed.. perhaps it will be available for beta testing soon.

thats really cool, but since it is a 3d interface it probaly takes a lot more resuorces on your machine to run rather than the current destop interface does, and windows already takes alot

Looks really cool, but i hope i wont get such a software in my hands - I wont be able to find anything anymore

Yea.. no where I have found mentions anything about how much memory/cpu the software takes. The are trying to make it a complete replacement, from what I can tell, of the windows desktop. So... when you login to the system, instead of logging in to the Windows desktop environment, you will login to the 3D desktop environment, so it "shouldn't" increase the resource amount too much.

Should also remember that this software is still in its Alpha stage, so many improvements in resource use could still be comming, as well as added features and the like.

Well, while the explorer shell does take a bit too much resources, it is not anywhere near what that beast would take. Using that shell, even optimized as best as it can, will definitely have you sacrifice some system resources to it.
