Hi All,

Just wondering - is anybody aware of interesting movement in the semantic desktop area? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_desktop

Maybe it's pie in the sky, but I think not. The essential nature of the Windows interface hasn't hugely evolved since the early days - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows#mediaviewer/File:Windows1.0.png

I'm not sure what it'll look like, but my gut is that the right implementation of a semantic interface could be a sea change. I think the term desktop however is kind of defunct, since it will need to be ubiquitous across a user's/organisation's devices. Love to hear any thoughts.

Cheers, Andrew.
