Its a 3d desktop enviroment, and its pretty crazy. Check out the site http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/
Sorry to put a dampner on it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was like a sieve security wise as well.
You could always run it behind a Linux firewall though.😛

You should try multiple desktops, which I already mentioned. They are just that. More space to open more windows. Different screen resolutions for each one, different background wallpaper. The choice is yours. Imagine what YOU could do with, say, 8 desktops...

Anyone tried this yet?
I really like it.
Now that I have the url: http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/ I checked it out.
I see that you must install NET FRAMEWORK for it to run. Well, last year I took a Windows programming class at college and we had to install this program. It (NET FRAMEWORK) immediately installed a user file on my computer so that there was an access for Microsoft to log into my computer. WOW! I couldn't believe that, but there it was, another user file all set up for them. Guess what? Once you install NET FRAMEWORK it can NEVER be removed!
I question the integrety of Microsoft on this program and any program that installs a doorway to your computer which cannot be removed. I also note that this 3-D version is not written by Microsoft, but by a 3rd party vendor. So this person is using code existing in NET FRAMEWORK. Could it be the code that accesses your computer? Because your computer is OPEN once you install NET FRAMEWORK.
