The Desktop of the Future

Check out this video demonstration of Bumptop 3D Desktop, the latest in computer interface design. It's really cool looking, turning all desktop items into dimensionalized objects that can be tossed aside or neatly stacked.

Personally, I don't like it. Sure, it looks cool, but it doesn't help me organize my files any more efficiently than I already do. Seems like this will only mimick the clutter most people already have on their desks instead of facilitating and maintaining a more orderly system on its own. For these reasons, I don't think it will catch on. Give me "Sort by Name" or give me death.
