[…] This is one of the coolest and most innovative ideas I have seen in years. It’s a new concept on how to organize your desktop that is based on how real life “desktop” or desks are organized. You really have to watch the video to appreciate the genius of this. […]

Its just making things more complicated. Its a novel idea but I doubt it being better then a simple windows explorer interface. I guess it might be useful for people who have a lot of documents to handle. If at all possible I think an artificial intelligence component added to this interface which would make things easier would really make a big difference. For eg. there should be an auto pilot feature which would just organize the documents according to type(pictures, excel files, pdf etc) or date(when the file was created/changed) to name a few. Also a very important feature to be added to this interface is to just have a area on the dektop where just by typing for eg. pdf lets say would just drag all the pdfs together, or if I were to type the name of a file eg. weddingphotos, those files which have the names begining with weddingphotos would all come to the fore so to speak. Basically what I am talking about is having an intelligent Search feature which would make searching for the particular file/s very easy. Do let me know what you think about my ideas. Keep up the good work.
