Heh. It's starting to remind me of OSX and some flavors of Linux: notifications panel, multi-desktop, etc.

I'm viewing this while on a laptop running Windows XP. Ironic?

As usual, I'll wait until Windows 9 has been out for about... 2 years before I migrate over to it to make sure it's stable. Doesn't seem to look terribly promising right now, though.  :w:
