There was an article a couple of years ago about Apple filing for some patents
and so on. The article said that the technology was already under the hood,
but not implemented. So they hacked it, and demoed how it would work in
a video. What they showed was the spinning cube thing, where the whole screen
would spin to a new desk top. They showed 4 different desk tops.

You mean the same cube spin transition OSX uses when you switch users?
It's nice eye candy for sure. But the basic multiple desktop feature has
been around in other operating systems for decades - various flavors of
UNIX, on the Amiga, I think, and BeOS. Good stuff.
If Apple doesn't postpone again, the update should be out in a couple of
weeks.
Cheers,

Yeah it was something like that. No dispute about who had it first. I was
just saying that according to an article it's been under the hood for awhile.
They also talked about third parties developing different ways to use the
technology. To my knowledge, there has been software that can essentially
do this for a long time. I think there are links on Doug W.'s FAQ page for
third party software???

Yep. I've seen several 3rd party hacks to add this to OSX, but haven't
been willing to risk any problems with system stability using them. I've
been waiting for the integrated version from Apple. Shouldn't be long now...

...........but if you could turn off all of those swirly, jumpy, boingy,
flashy things that "they" want to use, you'd have more resources to use for
other swirly, jumpy, boingy, flashy things that "you" want to use.

Here's another article, this one focused on the upcoming OSX
implementation of multiple desktops:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/11/road_to_mac_os _x_leopard_spaces.html
Looks good.
