    Just downloaded this desktop that is apparantly going to be on Longhorn. Spaces replaces the flat Windows desktop with a three-dimensional workspace in which you can move running programs into the background or foreground. Its really class!! www.spatialresearch.com/spaces/

    That'll be fooking sweet, if it isn't ridden with bugs.
    Looking forward to seeing how my P1, 64MB RAM can handle that. If it can handle Win XP Pro SP2, whilst running VNC Server and BitTorrent for all my Linux ISO needs...

    what's the point with a p1 on longhorn?
    It's not gonna have any advantage over the xp unless your processor is built for 64bit application..

    IRC doesnt show in the grid either.


    Could be good not much stress on ram or cpu when its running with lots of things running (Movie in MPC, PES, firefox and nero)

    Needs few skins tbh.

    I tried both of these briefly, and while 3dna looked nice, neither package is going to help me work/play more efficently than the standard xp UI.
