Dr Jayakumar: Thank you very much.

Anonymous: You are correct, virtual desktops have been around for decades, even long before they were implemented in Linux. One of my a favorite virtual desktop implementations was the Amiga "split-screen" desktop mode from the early 1980s, around 25 years ago (was it really that long ago?).
Please note that DeskSpace itself is not a new program. While it has only just been added to the Intel AppUp Store, it has been available on Windows in various incarnations for 4 years now.
Otaku Software is in no way claiming to have invented virtual desktops or 3D desktop cubes. DeskSpace is simply an implementation of a 3D virtual desktop cube for Microsoft Windows. If you want Linux desktop features but are stuck using Microsoft Windows, DeskSpace lets you enjoy those features on Windows.

Aswin John Mathews: To clarify, DeskSpace was chosen as the first prize winner in the Intel "Submit Early, Win Big" promotion from the pool of apps that were submitted to the Intel AppUp Store early. DeskSpace was not chosen because it is a new idea, as that was not one of the selection criteria for this particular contest.
If you want Linux desktop features but need to use Windows then DeskSpace lets you enjoy those features without having to format your computer and install Linux. If you prefer to format the computer and install Linux then that's great, but if you don't have that choice then DeskSpace helps bring a little bit of Linux to Windows.
Looks a lot like my desktop. FC12 + Compiz Fusion. I heard they were paid for this or won something because someone thought it was a new idea. Seriously?
Virtually ALL Linux window managers have implemented this concept of multiple "desktops" to organize windows for decades. In fact, Compiz (http://www.compiz.org/) is an open source software project which has had the capability of doing this exact same thing (3D hardware-accelerated desktop cube), and even MORE, for several years now.
Kids might love this kind of applicaitons.
