I think the demos were really nice even maybe not very usable in the first glance, but time will make the diamonds. Not so long time ago people used to use black and white (or green and white) monitors were saying that colors are just eye candy and do not bring anything new for the computers. Same were said from the telephones about 5 year ago. In reality I would not want to start using the green/white displays anymore. Same will happen to 3D desktops once people get's to used to them and bugs have been fixed.

I started with disliking color syntax highlighters editors, but that was only before I had seen good color schemes (discret and not too flashy). After becoming used to it, one starts wondering how we could pass without it (yeah, I know, I should have said true programmers do their own holes on the punch card).
I feel 3D desktops are the same. As soon as the the more ergonomic features are discovered (and *maybe* the copy-paste is one, even though I would prefer an implementation that would only make the top window transparent, instead of the roll effect) people will get used to it and wonder how one could do without it.
Anyway, I think the 3D term is wrong. It's not 3D that's important, it's just using the extra power a 3D card has to improve our desktop experience. Just the same step it was since monochrome monitors were the most common to the time where it's impossible to find a monochrome monitor (other than the now "expensive" 9' monitors for servers and POS systems).
