The Future of the Desktop GUI

Posted by Matthew Berman On October - 20 - 2006

So about 2 weeks ago I decided to apply for a MSN Soapbox account. I finally received my invitation (don’t ask) and signed on. Even though the layout leaves something to be desired, the videos play in high quality and functionally the site is flawless (as you will see with the embedded video).

I came across this video while using Soapbox and thought it was pretty amazing. BumpTop may be the future of the desktop GUI. I don’t want to say too much about it I think the video will speak for itself. Here it is:

Unnecessarily complicated. Looks like a nice interface for manipulating graphics, but for a functional desktop it misses the point.
