Ultimately it's nothing more than a pain in the ass way of working with virtual desktops. It also looks like some kind of crap Apple would bundle with their next OS but I see it's running on a linux box which is just sad if you ask me.
Not trying to be annoying, but if you think it's so stupid, why post it here? If you thought it was cool, then I'd understand, but..
However, I do agree with you, the touchscreen thing on a desktop is pretty useless, I'd rather use my keyboard and mouse any day.
However, virtual desktops are cool, and I might put that on Vista (if it works on Vista).
And yeah, bad whistling FTL.
