No, I'm not going all "New Age" on you, this time I'm looking at how computers are going to get a 3rd dimension and how this will change the way we interact with them. The previous parts of this series have been based on extrapolations or previous history. This time I'm looking further forward, when technologies currently in long term development become available and open up a whole new realm of possibilities.

MS research did a 3d display, the link is here.

There is another company that took and sold this idea but I don't have their site.
My opinion does not reflect "average joe XP user" but I think first there is room to improve the task management interface in out existing 2D desktops to better handle multitasking. XP's "grouping" function is too difficult to figure out which window is which. I don't don't like having my operating system ove stuff around on me because I have to go looking for it.
So far multiple desktops seems to be the best existing solution to this problem. I think MS has a powertoy to add multiple desktop support to windows but I have not tried it yet.
