I remember installing a program that made your desktop a "cube" for want of a better word.  Typical microsoft though, always last to the party and making something very similiar to what is already available.

Typical Microsoft crippledware ..... Desktops reliance on Windows desktop objects means that it cannot provide some of the functionality of other virtual desktop utilities, copies other people's work, but fails to do it properly.

Nice idea, but I can't be bothered with it; it should be part of Windows. :P
