XGL/AIGLX are much better approaches technically. The ideas behind Looking Glass could be implemented as plugins in Compiz, and if any of them are really useful then I don't doubt they will be. Right now, however, the Looking Glass project is essentially dead. Sun used it to drum up some quick publicity, but never really made it available to the community or put enough resources behind it to drive it forward. They could have done either one and it would have taken off, but they did neither.

sorry. rather search for pfoject looking glass live cd because the sun website only has videos.

google project looking glass and download the live cd if u wanna test it. i did that and i think its awesome. when i get my new laptop i'll experiment with ubuntu on my old one and see if i can get this to work on it as my main OS.btw linux all the way. i've never seen Vista do this.

Looking Glass looking pretty good. Unix system really kick ass. They are the best. I have been using 3D desktop for a while, from beryl to C fusion. They are very useful. I can really work on many thing at once. go back and for just by scrolling the mouse. Plus all the amazing effect. You know... windows is really something out of day. You just can't know how computer development has been by using windows.

This looks cool, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't solve any problems. Being able to flip a window and write comments on the back of it might be useful, but do you need a 3D environment to do that? No, this is fancy, but nothing more. As screens grow larger, we'll probably have more use for tiling window managers, like Ion. You won't want to maximize your web browser on a 30" screen, for instance, because the lines of text will be way too long.
