and this is The PC World:

Please read the description of the forum before you post... Moved...

Sorry, i thought it was "a socialize" idea; i meant it as a joke, like sitting around the fire telling some jokes... "Hey guys, look what i found, funny huh?"
though it looks kinda cool

[George Hallam]

back to the point of that thing what you meant to do with it i thought it was to customize your desktop

I think you will have to read the instructions linked the main page (second link)
it looks cool, if they can work out the bugs;

this is where to download it- it is still in early beta, and right now, it looks like Apps do not run while PLG is engaged, but i think that they are working on it...
Although LG3D for Linux and Solaris includes support for running native applications within the LG3D desktop, this feature is not available for the Windows release. This menas that it is not possible to run native Windows applications within LG3D. You can, however, develop and run and develop LG3D applications, such as the CD viewer and other LG3D Java applications. In other words, the Windows version is designed for experience LG3D and app development, but not for replacing Windows desktop.
You can however, view a demo of the product here (http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/demo.xml)
Here is some screen shoots Of Project Looking Glass (http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/details.xml)

@Budfred: i did not consider this "NEWS", hence why i did not put it in the news section just to clarify my second postThat is ONE word in the description, just like "socialize" is only ONE word in that description... Please look at the whole description...

i saw news as the primary idea of the thread, and i did not consider this news
apparently you do, and who am i to argue?


I hope that in the future that they will add the ability to run native WINDOWS programs while running the program
THAT would be very COOL
