Oliver Hamann released a new version of his futuristic user environment called Eagle Mode. But the most interesting news is probably his project philosophy. There he lists pros and cons for replacing most of today's user interfaces by zoomable user interfaces. But unlike others, he don't want to replace the concept of desktop windows.

It definately looks interesting but could use some more refinement, which I'm sure they're working on.
However, usability for an average computer owner is probably limited by the minimum specs. A minimum 3.4GHz/core is a bit of a heafty minimum. Hopefully that minimum will come don a little in the future.
