>For most of what we do on a computer I don't think so though. arranging any number of work spaces (screens) in 3d would be awesome

  To be clear I'm taking that (or even arranging individual windows) as the "virtual desktop" option that the person I replied to thought was ... unimaginative. I agree with you.

    I agree with him too! What's unimaginative is taking the current Mac or Windows desktop and projecting that on a plane. Old Mac users miss the "spacial UI" of the original Finder. Well, the third dimension gives you lots of room for a spacial UI. It doesn't have to look like you're flying through space like in Jurassic Park or anything, but a lot of existing desktop UI is constrained by the fact that screens--even if you have four of them--don't take up very much of your visual field and are relatively fixed in position.

      I probably just misread your comment then :)
