3D UI Part 2: Mac OS X (10.4.x)
Ok, today may be a little short because my power company is "rolling the blackouts" (and transformers are exploding like popcorn in a microwave, but THAT'S definitely not the reason fo rthe blackouts).
Today is about the Mac and its glorious 3Dness. I don't have any actual screenshots because well, I don't have a Mac. Mac's are (as anybody who has internet access has found out by now) made by Apple Computer Company (or Corp. I don't really keep track). I have a rant that doesn't pertain to this, and I might tell you it next week.
First, it isn't really even a 3D desktop, but if you go by that definition Vista isn't 3D either.
But Mac has a little feature called Exposè (I'm sophisitacted because I have the little accent above the e :) ). It nicely arranges every window in a visible manner. I like that, It is much more usable than the Alt-Tab of normal Windows, I have to say it also tops the Vista Windows-Tab.
It also has a cubeish thing. Albeit this is how it switches users I know if I didn't include this I would get some kind of comment about it.
I personally think the Mac is all eye-candy. And that is why hardly anyone writes viruses for it.
Come back tomorrow to see Linux, and specifically XGL/Compiz.
