Can someone explain what exactly I am seeing, I assume it is GNOME, but my desktop doesn't behave this way :-) , it is very Aqua (the Mac).
I guess you are seeing Xgl in actionn ;) Check out http://www.openSUSE.org/Xgl
Thank you Christoph. To the other responders: you obviously didn't look at the video it is a demonstration of a user moving windows that are transparent, and fluid like , ie if you grab the top of a window and move it sideways, the bottom will drag like it was a piece of cloth. Even a window playing a movie. When switching between desktops it is like the desktops are the faces of a cube and the cube is spun sideways, up and down to display the other desktops, all very neat and not very corporate, and not even very useful per se, but I can't wait to try to get Xgl working on my Beta 3 box. It will be so funny when Microsoft Vista finally ships, and it will look like last generation of desktops next to Linux and the Mac. An oh yeah....
